- Jaurdi Station Homestead
Jaurdi boasts an incredible diversity of eucalypts, a number of rare plant species, more than 100 bird species, more than 36 reptile species and two frog species. These are found on a variety of landforms and vegetation types including sand plains, granite rocks, banded ironstone formations and salt lakes.
Passing through the area is the old Goldfields Stage Coach route from Yellowdine to Goongarrie through the former Credo and Goongarrie Pastoral Leases, now a rough four-wheel-drive track known as the Gus Luck Track. It follows a series of rocks from Darrine to 71 Mile Rock where old tin-covered and rock-lined soaks and wells receive their water as run-off from adjoining granite rocks.
Woodline timber cutting occurred at Jaurdi from 1910 - 20 to supply the Kalgoorlie mines with fuel for boilers, power generation and timber for mine shafts. A number of woodline spur lines off a main woodline that ran from Kurrawang via Wallaroo Rock can be found.
The homestead, just north of the railway, has basic accommodation, rain and dam water with the latter requiring pumping to the storage tanks, two toilets, pot-belly stove, wood chip heater, shower, picnic tables, barbecue rings, shearers quarters and a shearing shed.
