Visitor Attractions

We encourage you to stop and have a look at what we have to offer, even if only for a couple hours – we know you will not be disappointed with what you encounter.

Dog Cemetery

Established in 1974, the Dog Cemetery is a tribute to Mans Best Friend. With over 200 loved ones now buried, the cemetery is unique to Corrigin and worth a visit. Take time to read some of the headstones of beloved pets in their final resting place.

Located 5kms west of town on the Brookton Highway, the Cemetery is landmarked by a statue of a large dog. Any person is welcome to bury their dog at the cemetery, although contact with the Shire office must be made first. Call the office on (08) 9063 2203 during business hours.

Miss B's Park

Located in the heart of town, this is the perfect picnic, BBQ and rest spot with landscaped garden surroundings, shade, toilets and play equipment for the kids.

Adventure Playground

A great place to picnic with playground equipment for the children. Located next to Corrigin Rock, the Adventure Playground provides plenty of shade and tranquillity. This park has a fort structure (which is also disability accessible) and a 'spider net' to climb and play on. A gas BBQ, picnic setting, toilets and shelter have been installed with paving all around. 

Rotary Tourist Park

Situated next to the Pioneer Museum, Rotary Park is the perfect picnic spot with toilets, gas barbecue, shaded tables, green grass and play equipment for the kids and is conveniently located next to the Museum. 

Corrigin Nature Reserve

At 1200 ha in size, the Corrigin Nature Reserve is one of the largest and most important areas of remnant vegetation in the central Wheatbelt. The Scenic Lookout and Wildflower Drive are located in the Nature Reserve, located 5km out of the townsite on Brookton Hwy heading to Perth (signposted) and is one of the best locations to seek out wonderful wildflowers and native vegetation, however you will also be lucky enough to see them in the road verges and reserves throughout the whole shire. 

Corrigin Wildflower Drive

Like most rural areas, Corrigin experiences some beautiful sights during the wildflower season, which is usually in September / October every year. The Corrigin Wildflower Drive starts opposite the Dog Cemetery, 5km west on the Brookton Highway and takes you on a well maintained gravel track to the Scenic Lookout, which overlooks the townsite and wheatbins. Variety is the keynote as the plants change with soils through woodlands, thickets and shrubland. For further information view the Corrigin Wildflower Drive brochure or call into the Corrigin Community Resource Centre.

Gorge Rock 

Located 20kms from town, Gorge Rock is a natural rock pool which was once the local swimming hole (before the Olympic pool was constructed in town). A walk to the top offers spectacular panoramic views of the Corrigin countryside and the area provides a good rest stop for travellers with parking and picnic facilities. Many native animals and birds inhabit the surrounding natural bushland. 

Bullaring

A small townsite within the Corrigin Shire, Bullaring has the Dorothy Martin Wildflower Garden.
