Keeroongooloo

Keeroongooloo, previously known as Keerongooloo or Keerongoola is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Channel Country of South West Queensland, Australia.

The property occupies an area of 5,814 square kilometres (2,245 sq mi) along Cooper Creek and is able to carry a herd of approximately 15,000 cattle.

[2] In the late 1860s, British pastoralist John Costello laid claim to the area which became known as the Keeroongooloo pastoral station.

Native Police troopers under Sub-Inspector James Gilmour from the Thargomindah barracks were sent out along Cooper's Creek and massacred a group of Aboriginal people in retribution.

In 1988, Slim Dusty released a song entitled Keeroongooloo Station on his Cattlemen from the High Plains album.
