Wongan Tourism

Save our water tower. Our Railway Water Tower is falling over. The “Friends of the Water Tower” are raising monies to restore the tower. Built in 1913 to supply water to the steam trains. The water came from the railway dam a few kilometres to the north. Water is collected from Christmas Rock and channelled from the rock across the highway into the dam. The water tower is one of our main attractions. One of only a few still standing in the state. As you can see it is leaning to the north. Some of the legs and cross beams are rotting. The tank is made of cast iron panels bolted together, very heavy. Standing on Jarrah & Karri poles. Call into the visitors centre for more information, any donations accepted.

For all your up to date information of wildflowers call to the Wongan Hills Visitor Centre. Ask our friendly volunteers and they may be able to organize someone to show you to the best spots.
