Description of Kingoonya
Kingoonya was established in the early 1900s as a railway support town on the line extending west. It became more important during and after the First World War, when in fulfilment of the undertakings given to
Western Australia in the processes leading up to Federation, the East-West railway line was built west to link with
Kalgoorlie and
Perth. Before the Stuart Highway was sealed and re-routed north and east of the township, Kingoonya was also the point at which the old
Alice Springs road left the east-west railway line and its service roads and headed north.
Kingoonya Hotel is open. For more information phone: (08) 8672 1002
