Where I stayed at a friend's
place they contacted Bill Murdoch. He went to
school there from 1932-1940 The school was only a primary
school. With 13 kids. When the Karoonda area school opened
they then closed the Kulkawurra school
Karoonda had 41 kids. The footy
club as built in 1963.
There was a government bore built on White Wells Rd. In 1900. It
was put there for people to water their horses. The man that live
on the otherside of the road used to bring his horses there for
water. He came to the area in1906.
All the mail had to come from Sherlock until 1913 then the PO
opened in Karoonda.
The house was built in 1956 it was on 400 acres. He cant remember
who lived there.
Thanks to Bill
Murdoch and Frances Sleep who gave me this
story.

maintaining for me.
Happy
Hunting.
