QUAIRADING
Quairading is the next Wheatbelt town
when heading west from Bruce Rock towards York. Quairading is a very
pretty small town that has the majority of essential services. The
main street is a wide avenue with lots of gardens. Very appealing.
Our town’s name is derived
from ‘Kwirading’ - the Aboriginal name for the home of small bush
kangaroo. ‘Kwirading Spring’, just south of the town, was used by
Aboriginals as a stopping place
Quairading was first recognised
as an agricultural area in the early 1860's and developed as a rural
centre for the ever expanding wheat and sheep industry.
Quairading is a farming community
with a population of approximately 1,200, producing cereal and grain
crops, wool, sheep, cattle and Rural Service Industries.
The district includes the
localities of Quairading, Pantapin, Yoting, Badjaling, Dangin, South
Caroling, Balkuling, Doodenanning & Wamenusking.
The Quairading Museum gives a great
insight into the history of the region. 
The Catholic Church
is a century plus building. The Anglican
and the United
are modern.
The Quairading Hotel is a grand
classic century plus pub.
The War Memorial is represented in the
Memorial Gardens
and in the cbd.
There are a number of old buildings
that could carry heritage listing. 
Quairading is a nice spot and visit is
recommended.
