Contents [hide]
[edit] History
The first European visitor to the area was Charles Cooke Hunt, who explored the area in 1864 and recorded the name Cunderdin, from the Aboriginal name of a nearby hill. The meaning of the name is unknown but is thought to mean place of the bandicoot.
Like many small towns in the area, Cunderdin developed as a stop-off town during the gold rush in the WA Goldfields. Significantly in 1894 the railway arrived signalling the earliest settlement in the town. Later, in 1901, the Goldfields Water Scheme designed by C. Y. O'Connor led to a renewed increase in population of the town. The townsite was gazetted in 1906.[3]
[edit] Economy
As part of the wheatbelt, the economy of Cunderdin is primarily agricultural. There is an agricultural college 3 km north of the town; it is one of the six campuses of the Western Australia College of Agriculture. There are approximately 110 students supported by 50 staff and their families.[4]
Cunderdin Airstrip is situated next to the agriculture college.[4] It was built early in the Second World War as a base for the RAAF flying school and bomber base.[5]
[edit] Farming
Cunderdin is mostly a farming community. Former Chairman of the WA Colleges of Agriculture, Alan Carter, is one of the many farmers to occupy land in the region. His produce consists of wheat, lupins, canola and also livestock. There is also great livestock production. The Jolma Poll Dorset Stud, run by Perry Jasper and Co., has been very successful when competing in exhibition shows in Perth and Adelaide.

Cunderdin daviesia (Daviesiacunderdin) is a small to medium sized shrub, which grows to 1.6 m high. It appears that it is isolated to the Cunderdin area.[7]
Visitors cannot help but notice the large Ettamogah theme hotel and pub when driving through the town, due to its redness and a car on its roof. It is based on the comics of Ken Maynard and is one of a few of these pubs scattered throughout Australia. There are similar venues in Sydney, Albury-Wodonga,[8] The Sunshine Coast, Queensland and Morley.
Cunderdin also serves as a stop on the Prospector and Avonlink rural train services.

Cunderdin - Western Australia
Cunderdin is now mostly concerned with wheat and sheep production. The town was gazetted in 1906 and the name comes from the Aboriginal word quenda and may mean 'place of the bandicoot'. Another possible meaning for the name has been suggested as 'hill in the mist' and yet another source says it may mean 'Big turkey' but that is probably best ignored.

GOLDFIELDS PIPELINE (golden) Perth Mundarng to Kalgoorlie Western Australia
ONE OF A SERIES ON KALGOORLIE SEE
The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, also known by names such as the Goldfields Pipeline, Goldfields and Agricultural Water Supply Scheme (GAWS), and originally known as the Coolgardie Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, is perhaps the world's longest water main. It connects Mundaring Weir, near Perth, Western Australia with the Mount Charlotte Reservoir, at Kalgoorlie, 530 km (330 miles) away. The pipeline indirectly serves towns further afield.
The pipeline was commissioned in 1896 and was completed in 1903. It was established to deliver water to communities that had rapidly grown in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields, such as Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie.
During the early 1890s, thousands of settlers had swarmed into the barren and dry desert centre of Western Australia in search of gold, but existing infrastructure for the supply of water was non-existent and an urgent need arose. The scheme enabled the benefits of the gold discovery to be realised and brought immense wealth into the previously struggling economy. Abundant water became available at a cost of three shillings and sixpence per thousand gallons, compared to water which had been carted by rail to Coolgardie previously at the rate of over £3 per thousand gallons. The position was even worse at Kalgoorlie.
The pipeline continues to operate today, supplying water to over 100,000 people and more than six million sheep; in 33,000 households, mines, farms and other enterprises.
The scheme was devised by C. Y. O'Connor who oversaw its design and most of the construction project. Although supported by Premier Forrest, O'Connor had to deal with widespread criticism and derision from members of the Western Australian Parliament as well as the local press based on a belief that scope of the engineering task was too great and that it would never work. There was also a concern that the gold discoveries would soon dry up and the state would be left with a significant debt to repay but little or no commerce to support it.

Answering How Large Earthquakes Occur In Australia
#australiaearthquakes #earthquakesinaustralia #howdoesaustraliagetearthquakes #australianearthquakes #australia #doesaustraliagetearthquakes
How does Australia suffer from large earthquakes? Some of which have reached a magnitude as high as 7.3 and having caused major damage.
Australia is on one giant tectonic plate, which would make one think that it'd be completely free of the plights suffered by other countries that exist on boundaries between two tectonic plates, such as New Zealand or Indonesia. However, Earthquakes have violently struck many times on this ancient continent. Some as strong as the ones in Indonesia.
South Australia for example, has suffered through some disastrous earthquakes. The same has occured in Sydney and Western Australia. ones. In this video we're going to explain how these Earthquakes occur, why they do, and what could happen in the near future of Australia... Which could take us all completely off guard and unprepared.
I hope you all enjoy this video! :) Thanks for watching I truly appreciate the positive support from each and everyone of you.
