Cuballing

The towns of Cuballing, Yornaning and Popanyinning (“Hard to Say but Nice to Stay”) encompass the relaxed lifestyle, unique wildlife, seasonally colourful paddocks and expansive landscapes that only small rural communities can offer. Home to the Dryandra Woodlands National Park, the Yornaning Dam and the Dryandra Regional Equestrian Centre, Cuballing has much to offer.

Dryandra Woodlands National Park is a recognised conservation area featuring the largest remnant of original vegetation in the region. Home to 24 mammals, 98 bird and 41 reptile species, including the Shire of Cuballing emblem, the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus). Experience the Dryandra Woodlands’ wildlife on a night tour in the predator-proof animal sanctuary, Barna Mia. Dryandra also hosts a 24 kilometre selfdrive trail known as the Darwinia Drive Trail.

Yornaning Dam, located 10km north of Cuballing on the Great Southern Highway, provides a quiet and peaceful location to rest from your travels. Built in 1896, the Dam was created as a watering stop for the steam engines that passed through the area during this period and into the 1900’s. Today you can enjoy a picnic by the water with picnic tables and BBQs available, play on the playground, explore the catchment trails or cycle the designated mountain bike trails.

Cuballing has a long association with the Wiilman people and the area contains many traditional names, mainly referring to water and geographical features.
