Cunderdin Hill Lookout

Cunderdin Hill Lookout is located 1 kilometer south of Main Street in Cunderdin, a small town in Western Australia.

The lookout offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding farmland and town, making it a popular walking track for locals and visitors alike.

At the top of Cunderdin Hill, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the town, farmland, and the water supply reservoir. The view showcases the open spaces and big sky that Western Australia is known for. Additionally, you can see the belt of salt winding through the riverbed on the north side, highlighting the impact of salinity on the area.

The Hill is a great spot for bird watching, and during spring, it is covered with carpets of pink and yellow everlastings. Kangaroos can often be seen bounding through the bushland. On your way down from the lookout, you can also see the local Goldfields Pipeline Reservoir, which has a capacity of 54.5 million liters and is used in conjunction with the Goldfields Water Scheme.

The name Cunderdin is derived from a local aboriginal language, meaning "the place of many flowers." The lookout provides an opportunity to learn about the history of the area. Nearby, you can see the former reservoir caretaker's cottage, which was home to caretaker W. Blythe Simpson, his wife, and four children in the early 1900s. Simpson was known for constantly repairing water pipes with red lead and had a fine vegetable garden near the dam.

The lookout is open year-round and accessible at any time of the day newline.
