Our Visit To Wundowie Iron Festival In 2022

Wundowie Iron Festival In 2022

Wundowie played a crucial role in the development of Western Australia’s iron ore industry. To celebrate its heritage, the Wundowie Iron Festival takes place every year. Nestled within dense bushland, this hidden gem can be found 65km east of Perth via the Great Eastern Highway or just 30km west of Northam.

The festival has evolved from showcasing local artists to celebrating the community’s industrial history and the Charcoal, Iron, and Steel Mill, which was founded in 1948. A visit to this year’s festival is the perfect day trip for anyone seeking a scenic drive and a glimpse into the past.

The 2022 Wundowie Iron Festival was celebrated on Saturday 17th September.
