The Western Australian town up for sale

One million dollars might not get you very far in Sydney or Melbourne, but in the small town of Tone River in Western Australia it won’t just buy you a home. It’s enough to purchase an entire village.

Tone River was originally built as a timber mill town in 1952, before closing operations in 1978 and becoming a wilderness camp for three decades.

It features 20 self-contained cottages, a town hall, workshop, tennis and volleyball courts, and an undercover barbecue area.

Real estate agent Collin Wallbank is selling the property, located around four hours south of Perth on behalf of the West Australian government.

The property will be auctioned at 6pm on November 14 at LJ Hooker Victoria Park, 288 Albany Highway.
