This cairn marks the site of the original township of Cooladdi, which was renamed in 1913 from it`s original name of Yarronvale. Cooladdi is the local Aboriginal word for black duck.
At it`s height the town boasted a school, butcher shop, post office, store, polove station and 270 residents when it was a major rail centre.
The Cooladdi store was relocated to it`s present location a kilometre away to avoid floods.
