Natural Attractions

Merredin Peak

📍 Benson Street, Merredin

Located 1.5km from town, the granite rock Merredin Peak is a monolith, one single massive rock made from hard granite and exposed by erosion over millions of years.  It is also a reserve and a prominent place for the Njaki Njaki Aboriginal people. The European pioneering story of the engineering techniques of the early Water Catchment Scheme is visible in the built history of stone contour walls, a rock channel and spillway into Railway Dam and interpreted through National Trust (WA) Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail signage. A 24-hour site for fully self-contained RVs in a woodland setting. No fires, dogs permitted off leash.

Totadgin Conservation Park

Just a short drive 14km south of Merredin on the Bruce Rock Road, this granite rock in a natural woodland setting features one of early surveyor Charles Hunt’s historic hand-built stone wells. A Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail site with walk trails leading to a mini ‘wave’ rock formation. National Trust interpretive signs and springtime wildflowers make it an ideal picnic spot. Wheelchair access to picnic shelter from one of the two car park entries. A Dept. Parks and Wildlife Conservation Reserve, dogs not permitted. BBQ facilities.
