Description of Kanyaka Homestead
Located 42 km north of
Quorn on the road to
Hawker, the
Kanyaka Homestead is definitely worth visiting. A strange collection of ruins dating back to 1851 when
Kanyaka Station was a huge wheat and Sheep property (984 square kilometres) on the limits of the desert. At the time it supported a station population of nearly 70 families but the inevitable droughts drove the people away so that all that is left are the ruins of the buildings. The buildings include remnants of a stable and harness room, a woolshed and an overseer's cottage. Detailed information about the ruins and their history is provided on a number of excellent information plaques which include photographs of the buildings before they became ruins.
