Kulja is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The town is situated along the Bonnie Rock Burakin Road.
The area was charted in 1908 and the Indigenous Australian name of a local soak was recorded as Kulja. The townsite was originally established in the late 1920s as part of a railway siding on the Ejanding North Railway line. The townsite was gazetted in 1928 once a large enough local population had settled in the area.[2]
[edit] History
Kulja had a post office between 1928 and 1973. There was also a post office called Kulja Railway Construction between 1929 and 1931.[3]
