Overview

Wooroloo is an hour's drive east of Perth along the Great Eastern Highway.

Interesting places to discover are the little Anglican church St Francis, which is built out of the local laterite stone. Inside, the pews and altar are crafted from the local timber, jarrah.

The town's artist studio where you can view and purchase works of art is worth a visit. Also what is reputed to be the smallest post office in Australia, now a private house, can be seen.

The Railway Reserve Heritage Trail passes through Wooroloo. This is an interesting place to visit, especially in spring, when the kangaroo paw wildflowers are in bloom.

In 1912, a State sanatorium for tuberculosis patients was built in Wooroloo. When it was opened in May 1915 there were 80 resident patients. Many are buried in the nearby cemetery.
