Closed Good Friday and Christmas Day
See, hear and smell the machinery that played such an important part in the early life of our state, with dozens of relics from WA’s agricultural past on display at the Tractor Museum of WA.
The collection includes nearly forty tractors, as well as stationary engines, vintage trucks, a display of country life artefacts and old photographs.
The oldest is an operational 1920 Fordson; the rarest, a 1923 Bailor cultivator built in America; and one of the more unique is the HSCS crawler, built in Sweden and the only known one in Australia.
Western Australia even had its own tractor manufacturer, Chamberlain Industries (subsequently taken over by John Deere before later closing down). Their original prototype tractor, the 40K, and the famous “Tail-end Charlie” are both on display at the museum, with Tail End Charlie often seen bringing up the rear of the monthly Tractor Parade procession!
Don't miss the elegantly displayed look into a bygone era in the Bindi Bindi settler's cottage while you're exploring, and kids can even get hands-on with one of the Museum's Hart Par tractors.
