Introduction:

The large town of Warracknabeal is situated north of Horsham in the west of the state.

Warracknabeal's commercial centre can be found on Scott Street and features a number of historic buildings including the Tudor-style post office (built in 1907) and the old State Savings Bank building (1909) which now houses the Warracknabeal Historical Centre with its displays of furniture, pictures and clocks.

The attractive Yarriambiack Creek flows through Warracknabeal, swelling north of Lyle Street where a number of parks and gardens line the waterway. There are several footbridges across the creek, a fauna park and a boat ramp.

At the southern end of town is the Wheatlands Agricultural Machinery Museum with its vast collection of early agricultural machinery with particular emphasis on the wheat industry.

The prosperity that Warracknabeal is now enjoying is the result of its diverse agricultural industries which include wheat, peas, beans as well as emu, ostrich and deer farms.
