Amazing trail — absolutely loved it! The whole walk was heaps of fun with all the ups and downs, ladders, and rocks to climb over. The river at the end was such a great reward. Beautiful view, and my boys had a blast skimming stones. Perfect distance too — not too long, not too short. 100% worth doing!

Doing the Z bend River Trail I would give it more than five stars if I could. This is arguably my favourite hike in Western Australia along with bald head in Albany. You don't have to do the full river trail you can just walk down to the lookout which is a nice and easy walk and accessible to most people. If you do decide to go down to the river trail, it is not a difficult walk but it does involve some climbing of ladders and hopping down and up rocks but it is not a long walk at all and most of the time you have shade because you are in the gorges amongst the rocks. Beautiful views combined with a little bit of a more adventurous walk and this is a highlight in Kalbarri National Park for me. The Browne Town.

Fantastic views and beautiful wildflowers to see along the way! Make sure to visit in September if you want to see the floral display!

Though challenging in parts, Z Bend River Trail will reward you with stunning river views, rock features and wild flowers. Be prepared for ladders and steep trails. Thoroughly recommend!

Considered a class 4 hike, felt more like a 3 but with some more challenging rock climbing and some ladders. Not hard in terms of length or elevation so young kids (comfortable with hiking) can do this easily. Go early! You'll almost get the place to yourself.

A slightly longer walk and more steps than the nature's window but the view is still worth it.

Natural beauty. Kalbarri national park is beautiful and Z bend was breathtaking. Watch out for flies. I had to finally wear a fly net , to stop it from going inside my nose.

There was many tourists there when we went past. It was a little hard to park with a van. We found a spot away from where there were tourists taking a 1,000 photos in every pose imaginable 🤔🙄. Worth a stop if you are going past. It is an interesting phenomenon.

This place is a bit over promoted. The colours and patterns of the lake are best viewed from a drone or aeroplane. The lookout area can be busy at times. There are other spots around Hutt Lagoon that are less visited. On a grey day at ground level, the lake can be disappointing.

This lookout was great to observe the pink lake from up close. Its pigmentation was incredible and allowed very pretty photos. There are many different points of that lookout meaning even at a very crowded time you got some personal space to take photos with family. Much recommended!

Long drive from the airport to this place. About 4hours ride. We overnight at pinnacles desert & star gazing. If a group of friends definitely worth to have such long drive. Not recommended for solo or couple trip as the pink lake not that fantastic, to me is not a must visit attractions by the hours of driving.

I do recommend that everybody makes the detour to see pink lake. However I do think that the best value from this comes from the air so to properly appreciate the size and colour of it. I think you're better off if you have a drone. That does not mean that the lookout is not worth visiting if you don't. I just don't think you get a proper appreciation for the size and scale of the lakes as well as the colour, as it sits next to the ocean in contrast with the pink and blue colours. The Browne Town.

Stunning, you won’t believe your eyes. Lots of tourists taking photos. Water is extremely salty but you can walk in / swim if you want. Best time to visit for best colour is when sun is high in the sky - 10am-2pm.

An excellent spot to have a good look at the Pink Lake and take some good photos. You can even go down the slope and reach the water from there. Although, there are not too many parking spaces there and no public facilities like public toilets.

Unfortunately this place is no longer open for visit! It would have made an amazing tourist attraction but it seems the news owners are wasting that opportunity. There is just a locked gate.

I don't think it's worth the detour to go and visit this place. However if you are in the neighborhood then yes, have a break there. You will even meet the Prince and he has a lot of stories to tell.

Too awesome contry n mr pm good think

Prince Leonard was a gentle and considerate host. He was also pretty down to earth for a prince. Long reign Prince Graeme KGSOWL.

Nain has been closed for good. May God save the prince.

the prince is sympathetic, tells and shows what is needed, an interesting place.

Well worth looking at, RSL museum was amazing.

There are public bathrooms nearby & quite a few caravan parking spots. There are also heaps of sheep "art" along the highway. Genius marketing by the Northampton council. It is worthile taking a walk to grab a pie & coffee, and popping into all of the stores for a look.

Wonderful small town! Worth visit & I enjoyed the heritage trial walk. Must stopover place for the kalbarri visitors.

Informative, worth visiting if you're new to the Northampton area. Also a GREAT little RSL museum, interesting and compelling. I love the real tank out front. Very neat, clean and well kept grounds and building.

Excellent museum. The volunteers here were very knowledgeable and were a great assistance.

Great souvenirs inside and old war relics outside

We have spent three nights in Northampton, visited the visitors centre twice and both times encountered very helpful ladies. The RSL complex is very informative. Informative in main street about the AFL players from this area is interesting. As recommended we went to the motors and machinery display, very worthwhile. Beautully kept gardens throughout the town. The sheep are an attraction. However, the botanic line walk did not deliver. We could see a lot of work had gone into setting up this botanic garden but it's now being choked out with weeds of all types, wild oats, Cape weed, Patterson's Curse, sour sobs, couch grass, all growing through the pathway as well as the gardens. A big disappointment! Would not recommend that walk to anyone.

Beautiful location, Scones were delicious, staff chatty, ablutions clean. We stayed later the next morning to have breakfast at their cafe, (opened at 9) but when we went in at 9 were told they weren't serving breakfast as they were expecting a bus load of visitors from a cruise and were too busy, NOT HAPPY JAN!! we could have been nearly half way home if we had left at 7 as planned.

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here! Lovely part of the world run by a lovely family who work so hard to make everyone at the campsite feel welcome. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, especially in the evenings around the campfire lit by the hosts. The homemade scones are a must in the cafe!

Rustic, charming and simple campground approx 4hrs north of Perth. The grounds contain a group of buildings that show how people lived in the 1860s. They are pretty intact and you can visit the homestead which is set up like a museum and contain old antiques and furnishings. My friends found this place because they saw it on some ghost busters website. Unfortunately the homestead was closed to a dust storm and now to an electrical fault. (Yay, no ghost hunting for me). There’s a small cafe that opens 8-2 where you can have scones and Devonshire tea but we passed on the opportunity because they were frozen and warmed up and we preferred freshly baked. Theres a fire pit from 5pm... roast some marshmallows and sit back for a yarn. The camp kitchen is basically a well equipped shed. There’s 1 female shower and 3 toilets. I’m sure there’s the same male facilities. All in all its good and OK for what you pay to stay there.

A quiet inexpensive little hide away spot to spend a few nights parked in a paddock. Host very friendly. No power. Toilet and shower. Cafe. Historic buildings you can tour at a small fee. Communial fire at Cafe. We did not spend alot of time looking around as it rained for most of the time we were there.

Beautiful place, we just stop by to take some pictures. Wish we had time to try the famous scones. But to tell you the truth, the location is quite far from other places. Probably won’t go there if its not on our way to Kalbarri

We had a Great stay, only stopped for one night. The facilities were good. Tearoom was lovely. Great coffee and breakfast. Fantastic service with smiles Thank you Oakabella

Every time I visit Oakabella Homestead it is always a lot of fun. Whether it's a peaceful night camping or for a music event it is always a great night. We had our work xmas dinner at Oakabella and the food, service and entertainment was all highly enjoyable. The staff especially are very accommodating and welcoming. :)

Roughly 200 metres long, Geraldton’s main beach is directly west of the city’s marina, continuing as far as a long seawall on the east side of the port, known as the Esplanade. The seawalls at each end of the beach help keep the ocean currents away, and the surf is rarely more than knee height. As we’ll see later, the foreshore of Town Beach has been completely regenerated in the last few years and is fine for strolling. Geraldton’s CBD and its many independent and chain restaurants is also just behind. Right on the beach there’s a couple of cafes, as well as the gigantic Geraldton Foreshore Playground and Water Park, which has three distinct play areas and a range of water features, perfect for hot days.

If you are looking for a beach that gives you the sensation of being in the tropics, then that's the place to go when stopping at Geralton. I'm from the tropics, trust me I know what I'm talking of, haven't found another beach that can match Town Beach yet 👍.

Beautiful calm beach. Great for swimming with small children. Also has wheelchair access down to beach.

Clear water, clean sand, and well protected from strong winds; what more can you ask for??😉

Good

Nice beach

It’s definitely worth a visit! The guide was friendly and enthusiastic throughout the tour. The museum’s sections are beautifully and clearly displayed, and there’s even a 3D cinema room. However, a few areas were a bit dim, which made the information hard to read. The souvenir shop also had lots of interesting items.

The museum is free entry. They work on donations are strongly recommend everybody donates because this is a great activity to do in Geraldton. There is nothing information here that you could easily spend about four hours but you can get through a little bit quicker if you skip over some of the informational plaques. There is information on the indigenous history, the history of the settlers, the Murchison River, the shipwrecks from the Dutch East India trading company off the coast near Geraldton and the Abrolhos Islands, and plenty of other interesting generic information such as things about the wildlife the Leeuwin current and the Point Moore Lighthouse as well. I can't speak highly enough of the museum. To me it is the perfect size - where you can easily get lost for a number of hours, but not too large that you can't get through the whole thing in one day. The location is right on the marina so before or after your visit you can enjoy a nice walk along the marina. The Browne Town.

This was an awesome collection the guide had great knowledge & could answer any questions regarding the collection & then some was a good morning of history for us as we visited the HMAS 1,1 site before hand

Very Informative museum with brilliant 3 way projected real marine life in natural environment colours,plus lotsa other interesting and historical artefacts and information, all in all an interesting and informative way to spend a coupla hours

The Geraldton Maritime Museum is a MUST to visit! The museum is great education for young & old and the display is amazing and very well done.

Fabulous, informative, well lit displays, running movies. Clean facilities and free to visit.

Wonderful museum with great artifacts on the history of the region and shipwrecks. Love the HMAS Sydney II and the Batavia shipwreck memorials. Gift shop has a lot of nice knick knacks too.

Nice place to visit. 2 unisex toilets available outside the building close to the parking area. We were there too early and the visitor center yet to open, so we only took some photos outside the building and move to our next destination:)

Do yourself a favor and visit the information center in Geraldton to get all the area information. Nothing was to much trouble and the lady went out of her way to answer all of our questions. Many thanks Lynn and Geoff. Ps we got a turtle 🐢.

The Visitors Centre is housed in a beautiful old building. Small art gallery and visitor information works well. Nice street art at the back of the building.

A beautiful place.The beach, positivity, imagination, having respect for our place in nature, and the environment are among the issues that are discussed the most frequently. The most pleasurable and cost-effective way to have an experience that is analogous to visiting a museum or an art exhibition, as well as the one that provides the greatest satisfaction.

I honestly didn’t expect Geraldton to be this busy — in the best way possible. I was imagining a quiet coastal stop a few hours north of Perth, but what I found was a vibrant city buzzing with life, charm, and so much more than I anticipated. Tucked along the turquoise edge of the Indian Ocean, Geraldton has that easygoing seaside feel, but with all the amenities and energy of a larger town. It caught me off guard how well it balances natural beauty, history, and modern comforts. I came here for a break, and found myself swept up in everything the city has to offer. The beaches are stunning — perfect for a swim, windsurfing, or just relaxing with a coffee from one of the surprisingly good local cafés (seriously, the café scene here is thriving). One of the most moving stops for me was the HMAS Sydney II Memorial. It’s not just a beautiful monument, but a deep reminder of the history this region holds. And then there’s everything nearby: wildflower trails, the unreal Pink Lake which are just incredible. I kept discovering more and more to do — way more than I’d planned for. What struck me most, though, was the community vibe. Friendly locals, art popping up in unexpected places, good food, and a sense that this is a place people truly love. Geraldton feels like a hidden gem that’s somehow still under the radar, but buzzing with life and intention. It’s the kind of place that surprises you — and then stays with you.

I walked into the information centre and the lady behind the counter was nice and helpful and asked me did I need anything I had a look around and they had a good range of knick knacks they had a lot of information on the area I found the place to be quite nice outside they had the old 50 Cent spinning wheel that you was able to sit on and spin around I got some nice photos of it overall information centre was quite nice from mwh

Went here to get an art map of Geraldton to do the tour of the area. Lady at the infodesk helped me out inmediately. The map itself wasn't quite accurate and clear. I suggest you go down Main Terrace starting fron the visitor centre and do as many side streets as possible. Including passing through a mall area to get out in another street. Then, close the art walk loop by passing parallel to Main Terrace but along the Foreshore. Once again, take your time to spot the street art work. The thematics are mostly Environment, Respect Our Place In Nature, Beach, Positivity and Imagination. The cheepest museum/exhibition like art work admiration you can do and totally satisfying!

Fabulous place to visit, decorated a bit differently to the normal Cathedral or Church but has the most beautiful stained glass windows, fabulous statues, a very grand looking organ near the altar and another on a balcony overlooking the altar. The staff are very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Cathedral and willing to talk and answer questions with passion

I rated St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral really highly mostly for its architectural beauty and being such a standout landmark within the city of Geraldton. It's worth spending some time here, especially around the outside but if you do get an opportunity to walk through the inside that also offers some value as well. Make sure to come by after sunset or before sunrise to see the church lit up which adds a different element. The Browne Town.

Beautiful cathedral right in the middle of town which was empty when we arrived in the mid-afternoon on a Sunday. The building and grounds have been maintained very well and it has a unique catacombs which you can peek in from the ground floor. Pity we could not go down or up to see as there was no one about.

We came to visit on a weekend and the cathedral had stunning architecture. There’s also a gift shop and cafe nearby.

Beautiful! If you like churches make sure this one is on your list to visit.

Not sure I like the decor, but it certainly is unique

Beautifully explained to a group of us as guide directed our gaze and thoughts to the splendour of the cathedral.Having seen many in Europe this little gem is worth a look if you're a fan of Monsignor Hawes.

Our visit to this memorial was made extra special by Trevor, the volunteer guide. His ability to add some moments of humour to this tragic tale was masterful and a very polished delivery. Having serve aboard HMAS SYDNEY III during the Vietnam War, I felt a deep connection with the loss of so many young Aussie sailors. RIP Mates.

Beautiful memorial, located on Mt Scott overlooking Geraldton, a tribute to the sailors lost when HMAS Sydney II was sunk on 19 Nov 1941. The dome of silver souls was very pretty. The waiting woman and stele symbolising the bow were very meaningful along with the wall of rememberence for the 645 sailors. Would absolutely recommend visiting. Plenty of parking.

Along with Saint Francis Xavier's Cathedral this was a clear highlight and stand out of things to do in Geraldton. There has been a lot of thought put into the design and the layout with concentric circles, domes spheres and a lot of symbolism in what has been chosen to represent each different part of the memorial. I came here twice, once in the afternoon and the following day at sunrise. The area is kept clean, there are toilets nearby and it is a great place to come and reflect as well as a great place to take photos. There are informational plaques, the dome of souls made up of 645 seagull figures that represent the lives lost in the sinking of the HMAS Sydney two, there is a circle of remembrance, a stele monument with the Australian flag on top, a centrepiece with a replica ships propeller and other fine details to walk around and learn about. The Browne Town.

What a beautiful acknowledgement to the crew members of the fateful warship. Set upon the hill overlooking the ocean. The most poignant piece was of a forlorn woman looking out over the sea watching & waiting for her loved one to return. That & the names of those who didn’t return home. Thank you.

I proposed to my girlfriend of four years at this perfect spot when the sun was setting. Stunning landscape view overseeing Geraldton.

The circle of life and death is embodied in this Memorial. Well appointed, considered and maintained, the memorial's many elements speak to soul. If you spend the time to take in the surrounds, and read the plaques, it makes for a poignant and moving experience.

We joined the 1030am tour and were very surprised how much back story was shared along with recognising the seafarers and others lost in the sinking of the Sydney. The memorial itself is a must-see both during the day, at sunset, and after dark to fully appreciate the time thought put into the site.

It was a beautiful venue for a family memorial. Well supervised, good parking. Nice to have separated parking for family mourners. Nice sandwiches and bottle of water.

Drove all the way out there, hoping to take cute photos then to be turned around as there was a “wedding in progress” nice to know that before we got there then to be turned away. Not posts on Facebook book alerting us that it was on. Not coming back.

Lavender Valley Farm is a delightful place to visit but also to host your special occasions such as weddings etc. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The function centre comes with a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of fridge and freezer space for all your catering requirements. The function room can accommodate a small gathering to a fairly large gathering. It has picturesque views out to a beautiful lawn area as well as views over the Lavender and surrounding countryside. Lavender Valley Farm is a hidden little treasure just outside of Geraldton and well worth holding your function there.

Nice food. The kitchen lost our order. When they realised, they apologised and offered free coffee and cake for afterwards. The meals then came quickly and after we enjoyed cake on the house. The coffee was not to our taste. We will be back though!

Attended a great wedding on Saturday 15/12/18 at Lavender Valley Farm, very friendly family run business with great staff, great nibbles and a fantastic meal not to mention nice cold beer and able to sleep in caravans or cars overnight. Great location.

Absolutely fantastic highly recommend. The staff, food, cleanliness and ambiance is all 10/10. I will definitely go again. Thank you Liz and Chontelle for an excellent experience.

Beautiful venue, lovely staff, great place for a wedding. Food very sub par though.

Had lunch outdoors at this gorgeous cafe with beautiful views of a historical settlement and alpacas grazing in a field. Food was yummy and atmosphere was great especially on a sunny day like what we experienced. Would have given 5 stars but service was a bit slow as they were crowded and the cashier was a bit grumpy. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves.

Quaint little cafe, filled with knick knacks to buy, and after your meal, you can go feed the alcapas as well! It was a nice stop-over for lunch as we headed back to Perth City.

Stopped for lunch. Meal was okay. Got to walk through the settlement ($10 per person entry). It was really interesting and you are free to wander around as you wished. Well worth the trip for the village.

Milkshakes here are amazing, and large in portion. Worth visiting just for that. We had alpacas drinking water nearby as we eat made for a pleasant day.

An absolutely lovely place to visit and dine in. The ambience is so charmingly old world, with historic buildings and exhibits to explore, and the food is definitely worth the trip. The seafood basket was amazing, everything so fresh, with the fries crisp to the very last one. The scones truly are the best I have ever had, anywhere in the world and I have tried many, in many countries, including England and Scotland. The owners are warm and incredibly welcoming. They even gave us a complimentary sampling of a new ice cream flavour they were testing out, that was not on the menu. If you have not been here yet, it should definitely be on your list!

Amazingly beautiful place. Historical pieces beautifully preserved to showcase. It's a self-guided tour to the old buildings, a ticket for which you can take at the cafe counter. There are also some Lamas which always Rome around and you can feed them too. It was an awesome experience!.

Worth stopping to explore this peaceful place. Of the 11 buildings, 1 was closed for repairs when we visited in early Nov. Some interesting exhibits. There's an entry fee to support its upkeep. We arrived a little later than 2:30 and as seems the norm these days the cafe was already closing up for 3pm so we felt we couldn't order any food etc so I can't comment on the cafe fare. However, we could stay exploring the grounds to 4pm when the grounds keeper came to lock up.

Fantastic spot. Great interactive experience. Better than Perth zoo in my opinion. Old Douglas, the croc is a big boy! Must be 4 to 4.5M Hidden gem this one,

Very beautifully set out and a awesome outing. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and highly recommended. Greeted with a very friendly manner and can't fault anytyabout this beautiful wildlife park.

Great crocodile feeding and educational talk today, my kids loved it. Staff were super friendly, the animals were so chill and loved the kids feeding them.

Greenough Wildlife & Bird Park is a fantastic spot for a family outing, especially if you have kids. The entry fees are reasonable, with $15 for adults, $10 for children over 2 years old, and free admission for kids under 2. We spent about 3 hours here, and it was worth every penny. The park is filled with friendly animals, including sheep and kangaroos, which the kids absolutely loved. You can even feed the animals for $4 per packet, which adds to the fun. It's a great place to spend quality time with your children, and the kids had a blast interacting with the animals. Highly recommended!

It is worth the ticket price. But the cages for some animals (such as the birds, dingos and lizards, etc) could be a little bit more spacious. It’s a good experience overall especially compared to Perth Zoo.

Definitely worth a visit! The animals are real characters.. thought this bird had its head stuck in plastic piping.. turns out it does this for attention 😂

A wonderful place to see and meet some of Australia's favourite animals.

It is a great place to camp, we have a caravan. It has toilets and, best of all, the beautiful cliffs and water pool. We had birdlife and a nice little walk along the pool.

Ellendale is a beautiful free camp. Limited spots closer to the water, but has an open area about 100m from the water hole! Great tables and BBQ facilities for people to share!

What an awesome free site! Max 5 nights. Many site options. Flushing toilets & a cold water shower. 1km stretch of water to kayak and impressive cliff face as your back drop. Tranquil and easy to get to.

Great little oasis to stop for a few days self sufficient camping ( Max 5 days allowed ) or for a fun daytrip from Geraldton. Water looked absolutely 💯 perfect the day I visited .

Last time there 53 years ago, great to see that it is still very much the same other than now there are amenities. If going to camp would suggest getting there early as was very busy.

Beautiful spot along the river with a nice gorge, you can't swim here but you can use kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. I only wish there were more camp spots along the river away from the main area which gets overly crowded and busy. Entry is free. You can camp for a maximum of five nights. Ellendale pool is about 40 minute drive to Geraldton. The Browne Town.

Beautiful spot for a free camp. The road towards to Ellendale Pool can be closed due to flooding, so you would want to look it up pending on the season youre in. Meningitis also may be present in the water, so would not recommend swimming. A lot of people did but just be aware of it and read the signs. Overall beautiful spot for an overnight stay.

Very friendly owners and lots of effort put into providing an all-round enjoyable experience. Loads of different games and activities, well-maintained and attractive.

The park has new owners. They are doing a great job. It's good this has stayed open. The birds are gone, but there are more activities than I remember. There are less foam animal targets, which might please some, but I found it a little disappointing. We were a largish group, and Paul took the time to come see how we were doing. We have visited 3 times before, and this is the first time that has happened. I will definitely be back next time I am in Dongara.

Excellent place. We've driven past a hundred times not knowing what it was. Karan looked it up so we went there to play mini golf and we took our own morning tea and enjoyed it. The have archery there too and lawn bowls. Great place and friendly folks.

We spent a day at the activity park and our family had a great time. Fun for adults as well as kids. We did a package of activites and would definetly say it was value for money. Hosts were friendly and helpful with advice and initial archery training. Equiptment was well maintained and looked after. A great day out and we will be back on our next trip through Dongra.

We had a great game of mini golf, even though beaten by my wife. I scored a hole in one on the 9th hole and received a prize from the pleasant and helpful staff. Great spot for the whole family with many great activities.

Had an awesome time doing the evening archery!!! Perfect time to visit in the cool. Very friendly family running the place and a great way to spend a few hours when in Dongara. Well worth the visit!!

Many thanks Jules and Paul for a wonderul day at Dongara Activity Park. We had a wonderful day - all 53 of us from Bannister Creek Probus Club.

Friendly and helpful staff. It is worth going in when you first get there

Run by volunteers so go check it out and keep the dream alive, well worth a look.

What a lovely lady - showed us everything on her maps & gave us a massive folder full of goodies

Friendly staff with lots of handy ideas. We made sure to follow these suggestions and enjoyed them all. Thank you.

Great service and friendly staff.

Dongara Port Denison the original first Fort in Western Australia

Easy to miss if your not looking for it, but great spot to get information on the local area, staff are very helpful. If your after Dongara branded gifts and memorabilia, this is a great place to visit.

An excellent Visitors centre with a good deal of information of the town and surrounding area. The assistant Emma has a wealth of information in regards to the history of the area and where to see the wildflowers. She is a fantastic ambassador for the town. I would highly recommended this centre.

Didn't have any refreshments but admired all the indigenous-inspired art which is for sale. Very attractive items ranging from affordable to high-end for the larger artworks. Worth a look when you're visiting Mullewa.

The lady seemed great but she was very busy with other tourists. We got the guy( after awhile sitting out the back)& & he wasnt rude but was trying to be funny & it didnt really work( just sarcastic & silly)& he didnt really give us any info but a few of us eavesdropped on the ladys info so got what we needed. This is first tourist info center in all our travels that i gave under 4 too

Very interesting and the staff were excellent in directing us of the places of interest.

Today l drove a different road and when l got to Mullewa the name rang a bell with me. I heard it mention on the movie Rabbit Proof Fence so l had to stop and found out it was a really nice town, and everyone l met was so friendly and helpful.

Traveling through the Midwest, quiet little Town.

Loved our trip to Mullewa pool for the day. Great place to take the family and have a bbq lunch and swim

Amazing. Awe-inspiring. Pity the museum was not open but a very polite note on the door explained why (short of volunteer staff). Understandable. Could still look in the windows of the rectory. Also, read the story boards around town about his life. Incredible man, more so for the times in which he lived and the travels he did around Australia and the world.

Beautiful architecture and history

Incredible architecture, reminded me of stone cloisters in Ireland...and the church entrance was as intriquing as Rosslynn Chapel in Scotland...it had a similar quirky personal architecturral expression

Very unusual statues. Medieval like. Interesting architecture.

This place was amazing.

Very good history of the place

Well worth the visit

stayed at caravan park greated by a friendly park manager Allen .Invited to a sausage sizzle met other campers and a friendly lady from the shire tourist information centre .Clean facilties at park.

Very helpful friendly volunteers. The drives and walks suggested were wonderful.

Brilliant most helpful Well done

Friendly staff with great knowledge of the area.

Good information and friendly service

The wreath flowers are amazing

Friendly helpful staff

Perenjori is the place to go to see the wreath wildflower when in season. Pay a visit to the Info Centre and cute little Museum. Don't forget to ask the staff where to see thw wreath wildflower and they will draw you a mud map to follow. It's not far out of Perenjori. These unique wildflowers are amazing.

Knowledgeable locals share their Intel on what to do in the area. Where the wildflowers are, road conditions and access, the best walks and key things to look out for. Super helpful and worth paying a visit.

Very helpful staff and a good supply of useful tourism brochures.

Beautiful place with a lot of history.

Had information on the wildflower festival. Very friendly staff.

Nice clean toilets, a credit to the Shire.....

This place was fantastic. It was such a small place on that we thought there would be nothing interesting inside but it was jam-packed inside with all sorts of interesting things. It really makes you feel old when you can walk around and point out all the things you remember from your childhood.

Whether you’re in town for work or just passing through, this caravan park offers a comfortable and convenient stay in the heart of Dalwallinu. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, or workers needing short-term accommodation—especially when all local options are fully booked!

Great park, lovely staff who stayed open so that we could check in at the end of the day after a long drive. Communication via whatsapp, link on their fb page. Very clean and new bathrooms and showers.

This has to be one of the best caravan parks l have ever had the privilege of staying at. The manager, Manu, is friendly , helpful and runs a great park. The amenities blocks are very clean and l don't think I've seen better anywhere. The camp kitchen is well stocked and spacious. It's a tidy and well managed park. I'd give it 6 stars if l could! Thanks Manu.

Manager was very very helpful he saw us struggling putting up oit tent. So came over and offered us a grassy spot under a nice tree. And offered us his extension cord. Can't say thank enough and great family working together it was a pleasure to stay at Dalwallinu Caravan Park . 6 stars !

Love this caravan park. Easy to access, flat clean ground with clean toilet and showers with hot water! Family owners were really nice and friendly. We passed through on our trip up north, highly recommend

We stayed one night as a stop over. This was a hidden gem. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were clean and well presented. The staff were warm and friendly. The communal camp fire was lovely. Would recommended staying here and we’d happily return.

Terrific van park with modern, clean, non-unisex facilities. Much quieter than expected, we didn't hear any road noise on a Friday evening.

Thank you to the lovely friendly knowledgeable people who helped make our caravan clubs visit to your town so enjoyable. Wandering Stars C/Club..

Used the dump point and public toilet all of which was easy to find and very clean. The little cafe was good and popular on a public holiday with the tourists.

Loved it Very friendly people So many beautiful native plants 🧐 And we have had some good laughs along the way 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍well be back 👏👏👏🧚‍♀️😘🌞🌞

Never open Tried to pay for the donation camp Spent money in town instead

Great friendly staff very willing to help you with your inquiries, good layout of the shop with locally made items available. Clean neat and tidy shop and location. Recommend a visit

Very helpful staff, well laid out visitor center that is very helpful for tourists. Extremely clean amenities too.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Western Australia's best kept secret! We were looking for accommodation while in the wheatbelt to do some astrophotography, in particular the Milky Way over Lake Ninan. With only three rooms available to the public on weekends, we had the magnificent homestead and outbuildings to ourselves, a group of two couples. The welcome from Wendy and the continental breakfast she provided were first class and the whole experience is testament to the hard work by her and other volunteers. The warm and comfy accommodation is full of artifacts from the 1800s and doubles as a museum display when there's noone booked to stay, so it is a true old world experience. In keeping with this theme, there's no internet service and the bathrooms are in another building about 100m away. Neither of these factors bothered us but in fairness means that 4/5 is the maximum possible score. I suggest the experience is best suited to adults with a sense of history that enjoy doing something different. We certainly hope to return sometime.

Do yourself a favour and go have a look..it's worth it, the morning tea is really good.

Great place to visit. If a large group of people visit at one time, they can arrange ( for a small charge) to have Devonshire scones, cream and jam.

A lovely surprise! This homestead has been lovingly restored and maintained. A great place to visit, and stay overnight. Also has a beautiful function centre in the original barn. Open weekends too.

Great place to visit , original homestead. Can even book a room to sleep in. Great coffee and scones

Had a stall at the recent Goomalling Markets held at Slater Homestead. Beautiful setting. Well worth a visit.

Very well restored and well worth the visit

Took my 13 year old son and we hired motorbikes and safety gear. Great open tracks so beginners don't have to worry about hitting trees, and a longer "enduring" track that weaves around the farm and through the bush also. Variety of tracks and various jumps from small to medium table tops. I hadn't ridden for 20 years and my son had never ridden, but by the end of the day we had progressed up to doing some great jumps and landing them well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED family activity.

Took my boy there for his first ride today, was impressed straight away by the courtesy of the guys running it! They fitted Hugo up and gave him some key pointers and he was off! Definitely heading back to camp for the weekend ASAP!

Wont be back! I've seen the track just deteriorate over the last few years. I used to go a few times a year, i went there today no track maintenance done since the first time i went there!! Very very disappointing! Surprise pot holes on the other side of the jumps. Worn out jump lips. Well well over grown grass. Maintenance work at the facilities still not finished. Unkept camping areas. Fire pits need replacing. A place so far away from the perth cbd needs to put in the extra effort to draw the numbers. The lack of effort has left me with a bad taste. I will be taking my business else where. (Edit 3 years on my opinion still remains, i have not returned! Those who have, Have noted that it is the same unkempt place)

This is a great place to take the family for the day or the week. The staff there are really friendy and know what they are doing. I took my 6, 10 and 13 year old kids ther for the day and they rode around for 7 hours non stop. There are motor bikes to hire or you can bring your own. There is also camping facilities right next to the office. Well worth the drive out to Wyalkatchem, only two and half hours from Perth.

Awesome park with some great tracks and friendly staff. Hired a bike which was in great condition and noteably well maintained. First time I’ve visited and will definitely be back again soon.

Took my son up to wmp for his birthday. Brilliant day, Great set up with tracks for beginners like my son and seasoned riders. Thanks Justin for a great day.

Great place to ride and very friendly staff who will help out where needed. Nice supply of spare parts too which is extremely handy out bush!

We stayed at the homestead with our Caravan. Eas such a great atmosphere however we're not permitted to have a campfire 🔥.

What a great place. Bob the caretaker is very friendly & helpful.

This is absolutely Amazing!! I can’t say it enough a full standing 1876 Homestead with all the furniture and household stuff to go with! It’s amazing it’s beautifully intact and the people who show you around are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend seeing its great to see what life was like and how they lived it’s very hard to find a homestead this old that’s still in great condition like it is (thanks to all the work that’s been done to keep it like that) My whole family loved seeing this gem!

Love this place as all the wonderful people come together for an amazing event every year enjoying entertainment, music, a drink and food with beautiful landscapes and an amazing sunset. The Blondie and Eurythmics with Hit Machine Show loved playing here ❤️🙏🏻

Interesting place showing our pioneer history. The caretaker Bob is 80 years old and a wealth of knowledge.

We were there just for a lunch stop (BYO). Bob (the caretaker) was very friendly and nice to talk to. He showed us the interior of the late 19th century buildings on-site, which presented like a time capsule museum. Very nice!

Fantastic place to visit, the history is great. Definitely worth a visit.

A great dog friendly campsite beside the largest rock water catchment in Australia. Great sunset spot and a short walk mapped out to show the key spots on the rock. There are no bins so take your rubbish with you. It has a flushing toilet but BYO loo paper - am sure what we left will have run out by then! Also, this campsite is not far from Elachbutting Rock where you can’t camp with dogs if you want to check that out also. We left our little pooch in the van to have his breakfast while we explored this Elachbutting Rock in the cool of the morning.

Great engineering feat to capture the rainfall on this huge rock. Good walk up on rock to fabulous features but most were hard to find as no markers .. we did the circuit in less than an hour.

Walked around the rock, saw gnamma holes, balancing rocks, and stone cairn on top (we added one rock). Great views from there. We found it fascinating how the catchment walls were built to divert runoff water into the holding tank. Largest of its kind in Australia, built back in 1930s.

Definitely a place to visit. Can camp here on hardened ground in area specifically for caravans or drive around and find more of a remote camp area in the bush at the rear of the rock. Toilet and table n bench seating. Nice n quiet all night.

What an amazing place. Camping grounds to stay for a while or come for the day and climb the rock, have a picnic. Camp fire pits. Hike the wall around the rock formation and climb to the top for some awesome views.

Decent walk around the rock. Quite easy if you follow the rock wall. Easily enough with two young kids which took us a bout an hour. Good overnight campsite with toilets tables and fire rings and it was completely deserted. Whereas elabaching rock was fairly packed. It’s only a further 12kms away, so we should have camped here.

Great spot to camp, not too many flies, bit windy. Ground was hard for tent pegs so a drill would be handy. Clean flushable toilet. Shame about the generators, there is always one inconsiderate caravaner who runs the generator till 10pm, while trying to hide it in the bush, then taking out a chainsaw to cut down wood for a fire.

Great spot, plenty of camping spots, one flushing toilet for the camping area. Phone service isn't great, you will need to clind the hill for reception. Very clean free campin.

Great place to visit. As good as the famous Wave Rock but without the crowds. Only saw two other people whilst we were there. The campsite looked good as well although we didn't stay there. Has a toilet and firepits and plenty of space.

Easily accessible large granite outcrop with extensive camping areas. Flushing loo a bonus! Well worth a visit and a peaceful few nights off grid.

Fabulous rock wave and tunnel, colours are sensational. Can drive to lookout near top of rock but sign missing and one section washed away so need high clearance 4WD, we just stopped there and walked the rest, views were totally worth it.

Really enjoyed this place. Lots of areas for all kinds of camping. Has toilets. Great walks to see what's above the rock or around the rock. Wave rock was amazing plus other great places. 👍 No cost to enter. Just a few vehicles were here when we were. Look after this place and keep it clean. 😊

Quite beautiful. Easy access and lovely walks. There is a campsite as well, however we didn't stay.

We were pleasantly surprised by the place. In our opinion it was better than Wave Rock. Lots more areas to explore and features were awesome. Camping area was large and even though it was busy we were able to find a quiet spot away from others. It was a bit of a drive in on Dirt roads, but were in great shape with little corrugations.

On a recent trip to Merredin I visited the visitor information centre Peter was very helpful and informative of the local attractions and facilities. He gave an excellent tour of the Cummins theatre .which has a fascinating history about the original owners, how it was constructed ,the many celebrities that have passed through and saw the beautiful heritage building. This time of year the country scenery is stunning

Great staff but never open on the weekends, which is when the bulk on the tourists are in town. Now has a shaded bus stop sort of area that people can use. Opposite side of the grassed area to the toilet block (which IS open on the weekends)

Thank you to the very helpful lady that directed us to some beautiful destinations, Mangowine Homestead, Dowerin for their fantastic butcher,Op Shop and the public toilets with hot showers, then finally the festival at Toodyay, a day full of fun, good food and live entertainment.

Rosie was great!! Just easy to talk to, very informative and helpful. And Karina was wonderful also. Highly recommend going here to talk about the whole region and get really helpful information. Really impressed.

Nice visitor centre! Public toilet is just beside this. Easy to park.

The best customer service! Called up to book tickets for the Prospector and Peter hand delivered them to my workplace in town. The team is amazing we have had the best experiences with everyone.

Great customer service!

Another great example of the old ways.Lots to look at,read up on what happened way back and how much things have changed. Volunteers great to talk with and get some info on other things to see and do also.

Nice museum friendly bloke at the entrance prices are very good to enter ,so much history on the steam days of western Australian easy parking ,it's right on the main line to perth and the east as it was a nice grain train went by ,you can even climb up to the signal box pretend to pull the levers open for 3 hours stop in its good

OMG , What a great place... Loved the information from the Staff on roster (Ray). Went to the basement and the control room too. Everyone needs to visit.

This was an incredible place, very worth while visiting, we spent two hours going around looking at all the history about the town of Merredin and the railways, it was fascinating to see how they people lived in the 1800's.

Deceptive from street but enter even if $10 entry this place has it all for the military interested

Lovely welcome from the Ticketmaster (volunteer, where would we be without these lovely people). Fascinating museum and not all about railways. Lots of social history. I especially loved learning about the Pioneer Women of Merredin. So glad we went.

This is a gem of a museum. You can easily drive straight past this place on the highway, as I’m sure most people do, but I implore you to stop for half an hour to check this place out. There’s lots of local history, specifically involving the railway and the people who have been involved in the restoration. You’ll also find lots of informative plaques and displays, as well as carriages and locomotives you can board to get a close look which isn’t afforded in most larger museums.

Love Coolgardie, great spot for a picnic with good toilet facilities. Remember our family trips to Kalgoorlie as a child.

Awesome experience The locals were very accommodating and happy to share stories and pointing out even more interesting facts about their region. Highly recommend a visit.

What a fantastic opportunity there is something for everyone from a beautiful bottle collection to minerals history old tools and a lot of interesting information. The lady at the counter was friendly and very helpful. A must stop if it's on your way. And only $5 ...or less....

Coolgardie Visitors centre is a must stop place as it has an amazing museum of Western Australian history. Beautifully displayed and so much information.

Very well presented. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely lady helped at visitors centre with some direction to get my van fixed 😀 🙌 😊 and even lent us a vacum cleaner to do something in our van Always love Coolgardie ❤️

This museum was alot better then I had originally expected. Coolgardie is a very small goldfields town but has had such a rich history and I learned quite a bit from the experience. The exhibit boasts a few rooms setting as dioramas from the gold rush era. The building itself used to be the old Coolgardie Court House and has its own history. The curator was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. If you are touring the goldfields region then I strongly suggest you pay a visit. Adults only $4, seniors and children only $2
