Kundip, Western Australia

Kundip is an abandoned mining town of the Shire of Ravensthorpe in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

The name Harbour View, after a local mine, was considered, but Coondip was chosen instead in 1901; the spelling was changed to Kundip when it was gazetted.

In its early peak, before the First World War, it had over 40 houses but, by the 1920s, with mining in the area in decline, only a few families were left in town.

[9] The Kundip school experienced a similar fate, opening in 1906 and being moved from the town in 1932 to Mount Madden, where it remains to this day.

It was gazetted on 24 December 1971, has a size of 21.7 square kilometres (8.4 sq mi), and is located in the Esperance Plains bioregion.
