GOLDFIELDS HISTORY

Kunanalling

The townsite of Kunanilling is located in the eastern goldfields, 25 "miles" from Coolgardie. Gold was discovered here in 1895, and it was known as the "25 Mile" when the Warden for this goldfield area recommended a townsite be declared here the same year. At this time it was referred to as the "25 Mile" or "Coonanalling", but when gazetted in 1896 the Lands Department applied spelling rules that changed it to Kunanalling. The townsite is now abandoned.
