From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loongana is a former railway town on the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia.
It was built by the Commonwealth Railways to accommodate maintenance staff and their families on the Trans-Australian Railway that opened in 1917.[1] The town was dependent on the Tea & Sugar for the delivery of supplies until 1996 when the train was withdrawn.[2][3]
The area was formerly the site of a lime mine and processing plant.[4]
