Midnight Oil House

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Located approximately 3km north of Burra on the Barrier Highway, lies an abandoned farmhouse.

The cottage, located on ‘Cobb and Co Corner’, was first photographed by iconic Australian landscape photographer, Ken Duncan, and rose to fame on the album cover of Midnight Oil’s ‘Diesel and Dust’ record.

Known as the ‘Midnight Oil House’, this cottage has become one of Australia’s most photographed ruins.

If you do wish to stop for a photo opportunity, please ensure you pull over a safe distance from the highway, and keep behind the fence.
