About Kingoonya
Kingoonya, originally spelt Kingoonyah, pronounced (/kɪŋɡuːnjə/ KING-goon-yə), was a small settlement, or township, now almost totally abandoned, in the central outback of the Australian state of South Australia. It was established in 1916 as a railway settlement on the Trans-Australian Railway, mainly to provide refuelling for steam trains and track maintenance services; it also served about 200 families living on sheep grazing properties in the region.
