Cook is an outback town that was built in 1917 to help support the Trans-Australian Railway from Adelaide to Perth. The small community included a tennis club, golf course and swimming pool for the local residents. In 1997 when the railways were privatized the new owners decided they no longer needed a support town in the middle of the Nullarbor and the town was essentially closed down. Today, Cook is said to have a population of four, and is essentially a ghost town.
