The Kingoonya and Areas Progress Association welcomes you to
Kingoonya - A way of life!
Kingoonya is a town that has had a varied history. A town that once was, was not and now is! Kingoonya began life as a Railway support town in 1915 and with the advent of finding abundant, high quality underground water it soon became an important place for the steam trains to take to re-fill.
Kingoonya also benefited from being on the Stuart Highway, the road that links North and South. However when the Highway was shifted in the 1990s, about 40 kilometres east the town suffered badly, especially when the Liquor licence was also removed to Glendambo.
All that has now changed. The Kingoonya Waterhole Hotel is open for business, with meals and accomodation. There is also a Caravan Park and fuel outlet that supplies diesel and unleaded. Kingoonya also has a group of committed people who are dedicating their time to put Kingoonya back on the map!
The Kingoonya Progress Association currently has 12 members, which is more than the actual town population. Some members live out of town but that does not lessen their enthusiasm for Kingoonya. We also have a great friend in Robert J Munro the author of "Kingoonya - A Way of Life" who explains for us the meaning of our town's name HERE
The Kingoonya Hotel will be celebrating it's 75th Birthday during Easter 2012. We are currently seeking groups, businesses, artists and volunteers to help us make it an event to remember. If you are interested in joining us, helping out or making your mark in Kingoonya then we would love to hear from you. To discover more ......here
