Yandanooka is located in the mid-west region of Western Australia, 348km north of Perth. The name comes from an Aboriginal term meaning ‘plenty of hilly country in sight’.

Later the siding was moved 4 kilometres south, and in 1919 the town was gazetted.For those visiting the region, The Yandanooka Town Hall offers parking for self-contained vehicles for up to 72 hours, free of charge.
