Koonalda Station was South Australia's most western pastoral property for 50 years under a lease to the Gurney family. It became part of the Nullarbor National Park in 1989 and is presently managed by National Parks and Wildlife SA. The homestead complex at Koonalda is of high heritage value as a remote dry land pastoral property relying totally on water from Koonalda Cave for stock survival.
