Driving down South Western Highway, you’ve likely noticed the timber heritage bush poles that stand proudly outside the Waroona Visitor Centre.

Carved with marron, cows, indigenous landscapes, red-tailed black cockatoos and more, they hint at what lies in this country town and the diverse Peel region that surrounds it: culture, creativity, nature and a few surprises along the way.

Just 90 minutes south of Perth, Waroona is a farming town with an ever-growing mix of experiences for outdoor adventurers, art lovers and families alike. From beaches and internationally significant Ramsar-listed wetlands to freshwater lakes, jarrah forests and warm country hospitality - Waroona rewards those who take the time to venture beyond the highway.

Whatever your travel style, there’s a Waroona overnight escape to match.
