Information

This town is most well-known for the Dowerin Machinery Field Days but also for being Buddy Franklin 1000's home-town. Dowerin is a typical quiet wheatbelt town which services the surrounding wheat and sheep farmers. It is teetering on the edge of survival with a number of shops having closed, the town being particularly sleepy has developed a number of overt attempts at attracting tourists including the Tin Dog on the main road and the unusual park over the road from the Tin Dog which features three wise monkeys and some Chinese statue

"Rusty" the metal dog stands guard at the west entrance and "Rosey" is a more recent addition, located in the main street.
