Description
Located in Dardanup approximately 15 minutes from Bunbury in WA. This is a world-class collection of working agricultural and industrial machinery from our pioneering past.
Gary Brookes's passion for collecting old machinery led to the establishment of the Park. Steam/Diesel sawmill, mill settlement, engines, tractors, dozers, horse-drawn equip, military, memorabilia and much more.
The park is one of Australia's finest collections of heritage items dedicated to our pioneers and the equipment they used to develop our state over the past 120 years.

March 29, 2024 at 7:10 amI visited Dardanup Heritage Park on a trip over to W.A. back in 2006. Even now, 18 years later, I think of it as one of the most enjoyable days of my life. The old timer volunteers were more than happy to start every large engine there, and we spent a fun day listening to all manner of machinery chuff, thud, or pop on and on.
After a few hours the wife got bored and went and sat in the car (no accounting for bad taste huh?) but I could have spent days there just watching and listening to all that machinery.
I hope to one day get back to WA, and when I do, this is on my must-see list.
