Just 175km west of Kalgoorlie is the former pastoral lease Jaurdi Homestead, nestled within the Great Western Woodland.
Following Ryan’s Find Road from the Great Eastern Highway, the uncapped track winds through eucalyptus trees and stretches of farmland. After passing over the railway, the small statured homestead is all that is truly left of the station.
Running through the station is also the old Stage Coach route, running from Yellowdine to Goongarrie, now named the Gus Luck Track; this follows a series of old wells and soaks.
Like so many areas around the Goldfields, Jaurdi Homestead was another location on the woodlines, with timber being cut here from 1910 to 1920.
Access is free. The road leading to the homestead is entirely uncapped and prone to flooding. The is no phone reception on the station.
There are some buildings left on the site that can be camped in for free.
