Overview

Penong sits on the Nullarbor Plain about 616 km north‑west of Adelaide and serves as a key rest‑stop on the Eyre Highway between Ceduna and Western Australia. The 2016 Census recorded 289 people living in Penong and the nearby farming community of Bookabie. The town’s housing and farms are largely supplied with water from privately owned windmills and historic underground concrete tanks, while small‑scale air travel is possible via Penong Airport (≈1.7 km from the centre).

Life in Penong blends a close‑knit community with outdoor recreation. Families attend Penong Primary School and enjoy new shaded seating and a skate‑park‑extension funded in 2019. The West Coast Football Club, Relay for Life fundraisers and the annual Far West Farmers Penong Cup horse race offer regular social events, and the town’s proximity to Cactus Beach, Chadinga Conservation Park and the Lake MacDonnell gypsum field adds plenty of natural attractions for residents and travellers alike.
