Overview
Highlights
Right in town, Mingenew Hill is the ideal place for holidaymakers to have a rest and view the stunning landscape from high above, for as far as the eye can see. Just wander or drive over the railway line on Mingenew – Mullewa Road. An easy stroll from the centre of town, this was a significant area for watering the large mobs of cattle driven in from the north before they were sold and trucked via rail to southern destinations.
The hill is a lovely area and in a good year, a visual splendour of everlastings. There is a cairn situated right at the top. Be mindful of the stone steps leading up the hill. It’s perfect for wildflowers, picnics and a photographers delight. At the bottom of the hill is Drovers Rest, a great spot to take a break and discover Mingenew’s rich droving heritage.
