Merredin is a town in Western Australia, located in
the Central Wheatbelt roughly midway between
Perth and Kalgoorlie, on Route 94, Great Eastern
Highway. Merredin is located on the route of the
Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, and as a result is
also on the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail.
Merredin is connected by public transport to Perth
via Transwa Prospector and MerredinLink rail
services.
Merredin, because of its unique location at a point
where the track to the Goldfields met up with a
reliable water supply, has developed into the most
substantial town in the Central Wheat Belt. The
town's promotion used to declare that it was 'The
Garden Town in the Heart of the Wheat-belt'.
