Australia's South West » Southern Rural Heritage - History and Agriculture

Western Australia's Southern Rural Heritage area is characterised by a host of pioneering farming communities.

Pastoral lands and rolling hills create a picturesque vista of classic Australian farming country, criss-crossed by intricately winding rivers and streams.

An interesting blend of history and agriculture

On your way south, be sure to stop at Kojonup or take the alternate route through Katanning and the historic towns of Broomehill, Tambellup and Cranbrook.

Historic Kojonup is home to one of the oldest surviving military buildings in Western Australia - the Military Barracks - which overlook a sparkling freshwater spring in the town centre.
