Mingenew has essentially three basic ingredients. Economically, we are an agricultural powerhouse and the southern hemisphere’s largest grain facilitator. Aesthetically we are surrounded by breathtaking breakaway country, with fantastic flat-top ridges and, during WA’s wildflower season, we are arguably its most sought-after destination. Finally, we are vibrant and happy! Below our rural and ‘real country’ persona, we enjoy a sporting and social calendar that is second to none.
