About this place
Built in 1875 of corrugated iron and river red gum, Kinchega Woolshed is a vast, well-preserved pastoral landmark at 673 Woolshed Drive, Menindee. Inside are wool presses, a machinery room, an original steam engine and the board where sheep were held; NPWS notes six million sheep were shorn here over 97 years. School-holiday tours run at Easter, winter and spring. Pair with Emu Lake campground or the homestead billabong walk.
