Moolooloo

Moolooloo Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station in South Australia.

It is situated approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) north west of Blinman and 47 kilometres (29 mi) south of Leigh Creek.

The property was established in 1851 and originally known as Oratunga. John McKinley and his brother stocked the property with sheep and built a stone hut known as Howannigan, the ruins of which can still be seen today. John and James Chambers acquired the station in 1953. Copper was found by James Chambers and John Finke in 1857 along the southern boundary. The pair worked the deposit establishing the Oratunga mine. The store at Moolooloo burnt down in 1861 with the Chambers' losing a large supply in the resulting explosion. In 1863 the woolshed and adjoining sheep yards were destroyed by a fire that was started accidentally.
