View all accommodation in Dowerin
Nestled amongst open paddocks of golden wheat and grazing sheep, Dowerin is located on the popular Wheatbelt Way and Pioneers’ Pathway self-drive trails. It is a well serviced country town with a district high school, community club, bakery, two banks, various other retail stores and a variety of community groups and sporting clubs.
The name Dowerin is taken from the Aboriginal word ‘Daren’ that was given to a series of lakes some 8km south of the town. The nearby soak or water hole known as Tin Dog Creek was a resting place and watering hole for travellers and prospectors on their way to the Goldfields. Enjoy the Tin Dog Creek walking trail.
Dowerin has many natural attractions including rocky outcrops, reserves with a multitude of flora and fauna and is also a place rich in history. Enjoy the historical walk trail around town, visit ‘Rusty’ and ‘Rosey’ the Tin Dogs or just sit in Centenary Park with a cuppa and watch the world go by.
