Overview

Traversed in 1848 by Surveyor General JS Roe, Kondinin was first settled in 1909 and surveyed in 1910 for selection for early pioneer farmers. Roe's importance is reflected in the JS Roe Heritage Trail including a magnificent mural depicting his epic journey, a replica well (Condinin Well) and the picturesque Yeerakine Rock which provides now as then, a 360 degree view.

Kondinin is in the heart of grain and sheep farming country. It is well known as "Home of the Group", a farm improvement group which had its origins in Kondinin in 1955 and now has offices throughout Australia.
