Wubin Wheatbin Museum — Attraction in Wubin

This Museum is a "Do NOT miss" opportunity if you are within 50 Km or so. It is TERRIFIC! It is split into several different-sized museums. One has a wonderful collection of rocks, all clearly labeled, a large fossil, and some craft items. The machine shed is huge. It contains vintage cars in beautiful condition, old and interesting farm machinery, some videos showing the development of wheat farming (Wubin is in the wheat belt), antique stationary engines, and some old household items. There even is a horse (made of fiberglass) and sulky on display. Another shed is an old wheat bin. In it there are working models and videos showing the history and development of storing and transporting wheat from farm to ship. There is a section (with video) about the history and purpose of the three rabbit proof fences in WA. I learned lot about wheat farming and the history of the wheat belt. I was given a personal guided tour which I really appreciate. There is no entry fee, but donations go to an overseas orphanage that DOES get all the money you give. DO visit Wubin museum and leave plenty of time to spend there - definitely...

"Rock Solid Entertainment!"

Stopped in expecting a few dusty stones—left feeling like I just toured the Louvre of Outback geology. Wubin Rock Collection has it all: big rocks, small rocks, rocks that look suspiciously like baked potatoes.

Highlights include:

A rock that might be older than my mother-in-law (don’t tell her).

One stone that gave off strong "I used to be part of a volcano" energy.

The gift shop? No gift shop. That’s how real it is.

If you're passing through Wubin and don’t stop, that's basically geological disrespect. 10/10...

Today we were fortunate enough to get a tour through the museums with a personal guide, Trevor. This place is awesome, so worth the visit.
