Corn dollies are an ancient craft practiced in many cereal growing area worldwide.  The art of corn dolly making was brought to Koorda by Mr Frank Lodge who in 1911 made a simple countryman’s favour which was adopted as the Shire Emblem in 1974.

Visit the old hospital, now the town museum, for historical displays of farm machinery and hospital equipment.  Community and family artifacts are also on display.

Mollerin and Newcarlbeon rocks are located north of town and during winter and late spring have a picturesque display of wildflowers and beautiful panoramic views from the top of the rock. They both have picnic and camping facilities including toilets.
