The small farming community of Wickepin is found in the south-west corner of Western Australia, 214 kilometres from Perth. Wickepin is known for its excellent sheep studs, the most famous of which being the ‘Yarling Brook’ stud, founded in the 1940s by CG Russell. The town is also famous for the homestead of Albert Facey, author of ‘A Fortunate Life’ and a Gallipoli veteran.

The Wickepin Caravan Park on Fisher Street provides a free dump point and potable water for visitors. Short-term parking for up to 48 hours is also available here for $15 per vehicle per night, or if you wish to stay in town that bit longer, the Wickepin Community Centre allows parking for up 72 hours at the same nightly rate.

Visitors to Wickepin will find many beautiful lakes in the area, including Lake Toolibin - the largest freshwater lake in the district, and home to the endangered Freckled duck and Night heron. Also nearby is Harrismith, famous for its wildflowers during the spring months.
