Campground in the
Kinchega National Park. Be aware of the weather conditions. If it rains you may be asked to move your
camp to Emu
Lake campground or you may be asked to stay at your
campsite for several days while the road dries out.
Visit the beautiful historic
Kinchega Woolshed for a glimpse into Australian pastoral history and imagine the heyday of this place.
No visit to
Kinchega National Park is complete without exploring the beautiful, old buildings of
Kinchega Station. Built in 1875 of corrugated iron and river red gum, the historic
Kinchega Woolshed is a vast and very
well preserved classic piece of Australian pastoral
heritage.
Inside
the woolshed, you’ll see wool presses and tables, a machinery room and an original steam engine as
well as sweating pens and the board where the sheep were held for shearing. In 97 years of operation, six million sheep were sheared here, an amazing thing to imagine as you wander through this quietly majestic building.
