Just 70 kilometres from Merredin in the heart of the North Eastern Wheatbelt, with good roads, the Shire attractions are well sign posted with maps readily available. The name ‘Trayning’ was given to the district after the ‘Trayning Well’ and the name for the well was derived from two aboriginal names ‘Durri-iring’ or ‘Duranning’. Meaning ‘to crawl’, and ‘a camping place’ and over time became known as ’snake crawling in the grass near campsite’. Today the district produces mostly wheat and sheep and with its natural beauty and pioneer heritage Trayning is a MUST SEE Shire.
