Perenjori is situated 368 kilometres north-east of Perth. The town covers approximately 8000 square kilometres, and has a population of only 600. Gold was discovered in Perenjori in 1894, and in 1916 it was declared a town site.
Within town there are two options for overnight parking; the rest area on Mullewa-Wubin Road between the Anzac Memorial & Village Green, and the Sports Oval off Mullewa-Wubin Road. Both offer 24 hour parking free of charge, with toilets, bins, and water available, and pets are permitted on leads. A free dump point is available at the Stan Cannon Sports Complex, near the basketball courts via the entry at 134 Fowler Street.
Perenjori sits on the ‘Wildflower Way’, and in the wildflower season from late August to October travellers may see an abundance of orchids, pink and white everlastings, and the wreath leschenaultia. Perenjori is also a birdwatchers paradise, with many water birds seasonally making their way inland to nearby habitats.
