Located about 15 km west of Ceduna, McKenzie’s Ruins mark the site of the first European settlement in the area, established by William McKenzie in 1889. The site was once a small village with essential services like a store, post office, and police station.
Today, visitors can see the remains of stone buildings and nearby McKenzie’s Landing, a wooden platform used to load goods from ships. It’s a great spot to explore the early history of the Ceduna region.
