Merredin is located 256 kilometres east of Perth in the Central Wheatbelt. Prior to European settlement the area was inhabited by the Nyaki-Nyaki Noongar Aboriginal language group.

Earlier this year we were involved in a grass roots community campaign to ensure local voices would be heard, aiming to develop a Regional Drought Resilience Plan for the southern Wheatbelt.

After listening to the scientists, community, local government and businesses, the draft plan has emerged from Wheatbelt Development Commission and is now available for public comment.

We encourage you to make comments on the plan's findings. Visit here to find out more http://ow.ly/szJW50KXKl8

Pioneer cemetery
Location: The main entrance can be accessed from Pioneer Street. Side entrances can be accessed from Dobson Avenue, Cohn Street or Boyd Street.
Pioneer Cemetery is Merredin's oldest cemetery and it closed in 1991. It's earliest grave dates to 1912 although details on graves prior to 1920 are vague as the Shire (then the Merredin Road Board) did not look after the cemetery until that point.
Many of Merredin's colourful characters, pioneers and war veterans (Boer War, WWI, WWII and Korea) are buried in Pioneer Cemetery. The history of those buried in Pioneer Cemetery provides a glimpse into Merredin's past and what it was like to live in the early years of Western Australia when wide tracks of land were only just being opened up from the beginning of the 20th century.
If you visit the cemetery the information boards are in the centre.
Don’t forget that the Seventh Day Adventist and Lutheran sections are outside the main fence on the west side of the Cemetery.

Visited the Pioneer Cemetery today to check out a couple of headstones for a member. The cemetery is fairly tidy but winter weeds are starting to appear after recent rains. Of course that also means that there should be some nice wildflowers later in the year. Will check in with the Shire when the next tidy up is proposed.
