KUNUNOPPIN

In 1887 Charles Glass discovered a gold laden piece of quartz but nothing else was found. It was thought that the original find may have been carried to the area by an emu or an Aborigine.

The town was originally just a railway siding on the Dowerin to Merredin railway and was gazetted as a town site in 1911.

The original spelling was recorded as Coonoonoppin during surveys in 1908.

Today it is a wheat & sheep town.
