Pintharuka, Western Australia

Pintharuka is an abandoned townsite[2] in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

The town is located between the towns of Morawa and Mullewa on the Mullewa-Wubin Road During the planning of the railway to be constructed between Mullewa and Wongan Hills in 1912, the local progress association requested that a townsite be surveyed at the siding that was to be built in the present townsite.

[3] The area's main industry is in agriculture: particularly cereal cropping and raising livestock.

The town and the area was flooded and many sheep were killed in 1948 by the hail and rain from violent thunderstorms.

In 1932, the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine installed at the railway siding.
