Description

Kingoonya Township is a small almost totally abandoned farming settlement in the central outback of the Australian state of South Australia. It played a significant role in the construction of the Trans-Australian Railway. The few remaining houses in Kingoonya are only intermittently occupied by people involved in mining exploration and kangaroo shooting. For many years Kingoonya relied on the eponymous Tea & Sugar Train for the weekly provision of supplies. The Indian Pacific (running between Sydney and Perth) and Ghan (running between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin) trains still call at Kingoonya upon prior request, and to do the twice-weekly mail run; both trains service the town twice a week in each direction.
