Nungarin is found in the North Eastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 278 kilometres east of Perth. The town is characterised by a single street with bulk loading facilities, a railway siding on one side of the road with the pub and a handful of shops adjacent.
Those visiting Nungarin can find casual and short-term parking at Nungarin Rest Area, located on Railway Ave. Stays are limited to 24 hours, and a dump point and potable water can be found on-site. For those wishing to stay in town a little longer, long-term parking can be found at the Shire Recreation Ground. Rates apply, and permits can be obtained from the Shire Office.
The Nungarin Heritage Machinery and Army Museum are popular visitor attractions. Tenth Light Horse military armoured vehicles and many items that support an army in the field are displayed in Western Australia’s only remaining WWII Five Base Ordnance Depot. In addition to militaria, dolls and matchbox toys are featured and an outstanding agricultural equipment collection reflects early settlers’ lives. Another popular attraction, the Mangowine Homestead, was a wayside stop on the way to the goldfields for many travellers.
