Toapin Weir

Quairading, located in the West Australian wheat belt, offers a combination of history and nature for travelers.

One of the main attractions is the Toapin Weir, which was completed in 1912 and serves as a water supply for the town. It is also the largest privately constructed water storage scheme in Western Australia.

Visitors to the Toapin Weir can take advantage of the picnic facilities, electric BBQs, and parking space for motorhomes and caravans. Accommodation options in Quairading include the Quairading Hotel, motel, and the Shire of Quairading Caravan Park.

Another attraction in Quairading is the Quairading District Heritage Trail, which starts in the townsite of Dangin and takes visitors through various wheatbelt towns towards Wave Rock. This trail provides insight into the region's early history and the pioneers who settled there.

Quairading is also home to the Pink Lake, a natural phenomenon caused by high salinity levels and the growth of microscopic algae. This unique lake changes the water's color to pink and is one of the few Pink lakes found in Western Australia.

The best time to visit Quairading is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and pleasant. Travelers can reach Quairading by driving from Perth, which takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
