309 kilometres north east of Perth
Mukinbudin is three and a half hours drive from Perth in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The district is famous for its wheat and sheep farming.
The town was gazetted in 1922 and has many interesting historical and natural features. Visit three historical graves at the Wattoning Homestead site and the gnamma hole which was the town's main water source. Goodchild's Gate is a reminder of the contribution soldiers from farming districts made in World War 2.
Explore the massive granite outcrops of Elachbutting: a giant wave-shaped formation and 40 metre rock tunnel you can walk through. Beringbooding Rock is also well worth a visit. Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve is a 1,400 acre granite reserve. It includes a white breakaway valley . A visit in spring will see Euc. caesia in bloom plus spectacular white leschenaultia and red velvet flowers.
There is a local hotel/motel and farm stay accommodation.
