KONDININ
Continuing our travels west we arrive
at Kondinin.
The
town is
located in the Eastern Wheatbelt region and on State Route 40
between Corrigin and Hyden. It is the main town in the Shire of
Kondinin.
The lake and well nearby came to be
known as Kondinin, although the meaning is unknown.
In the early years, settlers
occasionally encountered groups of Aborigines hunting possums.
Although artifacts such as grinding stones and stone choppers have
been found in the district, no signs of permanent occupation were
found by early settlers other than the mia-mias built by
"Europeanised" Aboriginal shepherds.
The town of Kondinin began life as
a railway station on the railway line near Narrogin to Kondinin, built
from 1911 to 1915.
The Churches at Kondinin are a
street back from the main community area. 
The War Memorial is around the
corner from the main retail precinct.
Kondinin has a traditional but
modern pub. he
town does not have a lot to offer for the visitor, but refreshment at
the hotel may be in order.
