The small town of Wandering is nestled in a scenic valley and is the gateway to Numbat Country, Dryandra Woodlands National Park.
The Community Centre boasts a public picnic area with BBQs and a children’s playground. A skate park can be found on the corner of Gnowing and Sewell Street. Outside the historic Agricultural Hall, now known as the Community Resource Centre (CRC), along the main street of town is Len Zuk’s Sculpture of a pioneer and his horse, inspired by the founding story in the book The Horses Came First. The book is available for purchase at the Shire Office during open hours. Enjoy a meal at the Wandering Tavern, grab a coffee and light snack at the local CRC, or prebook a wine tasting at Tanglefoot Winery. Explore native bushland near Wandering Primary School on Watts Street or wander along Wogolin Gully on the Lions Heritage and Nature Trail, accessible from the Caravan Park. The Caravan Park has two self-contained accessible cabins and around 20 powered and unpowered sites, along with modern amenities for use by guests.
Enroute to Pumphrey’s Bridge and Dryandra, on the outskirts of town, is the historic St Martin’s church, the cemetery and historic homestead ‘Grassdale’. Springtime is abounded with wildflowers and yellow fields of dazzling canola crop as far as the eye can see. Wandering has the reputation for being the coldest town in WA, so pack your winter woollies and start exploring, or come for one of our many events.
