Koonalda Station
About this campsite
Koonalda Station, once functioning as a historic roadhouse and garage on the original Eyre Highway, is an iconic travel destination. It's a window into Australia's pioneering past, featuring a vast graveyard of wrecked vehicles – silent remnants of journeys that stumbled. After its closure in 1988, it became part of the Nullarbor National Park. Today, it provides a unique and rugged adventure for explorers, offering an authentic off-road experience due to its dry-weather-only, non-maintained access road.
