SHIRE OF DALWALLINU

The name Dalwallinu means "Aplace to rest awhile". The Government Gazetted Well decided the position of the Dalwallinu Townsite and became the source of water for many years, later to be replaced by the Shire. A Tourist Precinct is situated around the picturesque Memorial Park and includes a Visitors Centre displaying arts & craft in the Old Courthouse. With access to a playground, coffee shop and toilets it is indeed a place which encourages visitors to "rest awhile".
