Woolundunga Station operates as a sheep station under a pastoral lease in South Australia, situated approximately northwest of Wilmington and southwest of Quorn, close to the Flinders Ranges.
The lease was initially established in 1859 and subsequently auctioned in 1863, when Charles Swinden became its owner. At that period, the property spanned and supported around 15,000 sheep, 500 cattle, and 24 horses. During the 1860s, ownership transferred to Walter Kingsmill, who also possessed Mount Brown, Mount Serle, and Mount Chambers Stations.
By 1922, Woolundunga Station experienced significant land deterioration caused by drought conditions, excessive stocking, and rabbit infestations. In 1950, a new two-storey homestead was constructed, inspired by a design dating back to circa 1892.
That year, Woolundunga was used as a filming site for the motion picture Kangaroo, temporarily renamed Rooloora for its release in the United States.
In 2012, the station endured extensive fire damage affecting of its area and led to the death of 600 sheep.
