important railroad junction until trains into
the Flinders were cut in 1970.

1 ̈Sights ̈& ̈Activities
Quorn’s streetscapes, especially Railway Tce,
are a real history lesson, and have featured
in iconic Australian films such as Gallipoli
and Sunday Too Far Away. Pick up the
Quorn Historic Buildings Walk brochure
from the visitor centre. A fragment of the
long-defunct railway now conveys the Pichi
Richi Railway (p786) between Port Augusta
and Quorn.

Derelict ruins of early settlements litter
the Quorn–Hawker road, the most impres-
sive of which is Kanyaka, a once-thriving
sheep station founded in 1851. From the
homestead ruins (41km from Quorn) it’s a
20-minute walk to a waterhole, loomed over
by the massive Death ̈Rock. The story goes
that local Aborigines once placed their dying
kinfolk here to see out their last hours.
