Parikawa station is situated in a sandy windswept area.  It would be necessary to buy a site from the owners of a property on the western side of the road.  There is no water supply available in the vicinity and provision would have to be made for sufficient rain water tanks to provide water for household purposes for at least three months as droughts of this duration occur periodically in this location.
