Parts of the property included good dairy land such as 'Penrose' which was the home of the Evans family, well known in the Illawarra as expert dairymen. Henry Osborne was one of the aristocracy of early dairying in the Illawarra. In the s he had a good herd of dairy cattle and because he owned his farm he was able to secure the best breeds for his property McDonald, ; Cousins, It ran southward two miles west of Wollongong and continued in nearly a straight line across 'Charcoal Creek', keeping a short distance from 'Mullet Creek' and crossing that creek yards lower than the present ford.
It continued in a straight direction across level ground so as again to fall in with the road at a mile and a half beyond 'Mullet Creek'. The line was then marked along some rising ground nearly in the same direction as the present road until a cut of two miles was made through William Browne's land. This avoided a considerable detour in the road and a bad swamp crossing near its head.
Dapto Railway Station opened in with the extension of the railway line to North Kiama. On 12 December a private branch line with the dead-end exchange sidings at the junction was opened for the Australian Smelting Company.
The line was to be six and three quarter miles long from Elizabeth near Lake Illawarra to the colliery half a mile west of the Old West Dapto Public School site. Work on the railway began in September The line was to start at Tallawarra Point and go west for two miles before crossing the main road and the Illawarra Railway line.
This new line would have run right through Koonawarra, however it was never used. It was never placed into service over its whole length because the coal deposits when tested were found to be unsatisfactory. The quality of the coal was poor, presumably due to faults in the seam. Only the northern end of the Illawarra Harbour and Land Corporation railway, apart from the Dapto Smelter section, was ever used to haul paying loads.
There are some physical remains of this line still to be seen in Dapto McDonald, ; Reynolds, For information about historic buildings in this area, see the Dapto and Kanahooka pages. The environment of Koonawarra is largely influenced by its location on the western shore of Lake Illawarra.
Lake Illawarra is the main water body in the Illawarra catchment area and has been subject to high levels of sedimentation from stormwater discharges, sewage overflows, run-off from crop and dairy farms, influx from industry and sand deposits from the ocean. Since it has been estimated that more than 40cm of sediment has accumulated in the lake.
