Dumbleyung is a historical farming town, located 267 kilometres south-east of Perth and is best known for its grain and livestock produce. The township was originally gazetted in 1906; however, pioneers began arriving in the district as early as 1875. Dumbleyung is now a rural service town to the surrounding shire and has all the necessary amenities for travellers passing through the area including a post office, tavern, library and general store.
Stubbs Park, located on Bahrs Road, offers parking for up to 72 hours at no charge. A dump point, potable water and toilets are located at the site, and pets are welcome on leads. Casual parking in the town centre can be found on Bennett Street opposite the swimming pool.
The nearby Lake Dumbleyung is the largest open lake in Western Australia’s south-west and is a haven for many varieties of water birds. Donald Campbell received fame in 1964 for breaking the world water speed record, in his boat ‘Bluebird’, and today, a replica of Donald’s boat can be found in town and is a major tourist attraction.
