This trail offers scenic
views of the town and adjacent bushland as
well as interpretation on how
granite rocks were used as water catchments from the 1890’s. Water from
the rock was collected via
granite walled channels and feed into Railway
Dam. From there it filled the water tower in town to supply the steam trains. Walking over
the rock you look down on the site of World War 2 Army Field Hospital and over the town. Prospectors on their way to the Yilgarn Goldfields had their camps tucked away in the lee of
the rock.
The
Merredin Peak Trail is one of many recommended stops along the Golden Pipeline
Heritage Trail. Merredin is the largest regional town in the Central Eastern Wheatbelt and is a three hour drive east of
Perth
