Merredin
259 kilometres east of Perth
Merredin is the largest regional centre in the eastern Wheatbelt, approx. three hours’ drive east of Perth and west of Kalgoorlie on the Great Eastern Highway following the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail. An alternative route from Perth is via Toodyay, Goomalling and Nungarin along the Pioneers’ Pathway or via Beverly, Quairading and Bruce Rock on the Pathways to Wave Rock.
A thriving business and agricultural centre, Merredin has all the major services of a commercial centre with post office, banks, ATM’s, a chemist, a variety of retail experiences, a regional hospital and two doctors surgeries. Apex Park | Danjoo Waabininy Boodja is a brand new children’s playground with equipment, nature play, skate park, toilets and picnic areas for families. Pioneer Park and the heritage water tower sits between the Military Museum and Railway Museum with highway access all close to the new CBD redevelopment, cafes, restaurants, retail which makes Merredin an ideal base for those exploring the sights of the wider Wheatbelt. The town is serviced daily by the Transwa Prospector and the Merredin Link passenger rail service.
An RV Friendly Town, Merredin offers a FREE 24-hour stay for fully self-contained RVs at Merredin Peak Reserve in a bushland setting. Enhance your stay connecting to the rock and pipeline heritage trails. A climb to the peak provides 360-degree views of Merredin and countryside. Experience the Aboriginal Culture of the area through a Njaki Njaki Aboriginal Cultural Tour at Merredin Peak.
Other heritage and natural attraction sites include, Totadgin Conservation Park and Tamma Parkland where you can enjoy bush and rock walks. Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH) has the longest grain storage facilities in the southern hemisphere, and Public Silo Art on the original concrete silos facing the highway which is part of the FORM Public Silo Trail where giant murals by urban artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers have transformed 4 of the 8 concrete silo cells.
The remains of many military installations from the town’s role as a line of defence during World War II are other attractions.
Follow the CBD heritage walk around town and learn the significance of the buildings to Merredin and catch a live show at the iconic Cummins Theatre.
