Cuballing

The historic town of Cuballing is situated on the Great Southern Highway two and a half hours drive southeast of Perth. Cuballing has many lovely buildings dating from the early 1900s including the newly restored Cuballing Tavern, Post Office and Agricultural Hall. The Cuballing Tavern, built in 1891 has been known, over the years, as the Cuballing Pool Hotel, Bullara Hotel and the Cuballing Hotel. Originally a seven roomed galvanised iron structure, incorporating a brick built kitchen and wash house (laundry) at the back. In 1905/06 the building was destroyed and a new brick, single storey building was erected. The new building incorporated the old kitchen and laundry and three cellars which were built in the foundations. In 1912 a second story was added on, with eleven bedrooms upstairs. The exterior walls are built with local bricks and features two elaborate pediments that bear the name of the place and date of the construction of the upper level. The Cuballing Agricultural Hall is situated on Campbell Street, Cuballing. It was built and officially opened in December 1912, the opening was attended by several parliamentarians. Take a picnic lunch to Yornaning Dam and watch for the waterbirds that inhabit the dam or take a stroll along the nature trails that meander through the bushland. In 1993 the Cuballing Shire obtained vesting of this area and has upgraded the dam for recreational swimming and general relaxation. Barbecues and picnic facilities are provided and there is a one and a half kilometre nature walk trail circling the water playground. Take a day trip to Dryanda Woodland, the largest remaining woodland area in the wheatbelt. Dryandra is a great place for walking, camping and seeing wildlife. Visitors can stay in hotel accommodation, self contained units and a caravan park whilst in Cuballing.
