Mukinbudin is three and a half hours' drive northeast of Perth in the wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The district is famous for its wheat and sheep farming.

The town was gazetted in 1922 and has many interesting historical and natural features. Visit three historical graves at the Wattoning Homestead site and the gnamma hole which was the town's main water source. Explore the massive granite outcrops of Elachbutting: a giant wave-shaped formation and 40 metre rock tunnel you can walk through. Chiddarcooping is a 1,400 acre granite reserve including a white hidden valley and, in spring, spectacular white leschenaultia and red velvet flowers.

There is a local hotel/motel, small eateries and a shopping centre.
