It lies 239.6 km east-north-east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 76°T), and is situated 30.4 km north-north-east of Merredin. The land here is a study in muted tones – ochres and pale golds of dry grass giving way to the dusty greens of hardy shrubs, all under a relentless blue. Low, rounded hills, ancient and worn by wind and time, ripple across the horizon, their contours softened by distance. The air itself carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the faint sweetness of eucalyptus and the mineral tang of the earth. In the quiet, you can hear the whisper of the wind through the sparse vegetation, a sound that seems to echo the immense, patient stillness of the landscape.
Goomarin’s story is written in the grain of the land, a narrative of resilience forged by the elements and the toil of those who settled it. Originally, this was country that demanded much from its inhabitants, a place where survival was a daily negotiation. The economy here has long been tied to the earth, with broadacre farming – wheat and barley – forming the backbone of its existence, the golden harvests a hard-won reward for the relentless sun and infrequent rain. The distant gleam of a grain silo, a sentinel against the sky, speaks of this enduring connection. While not a bustling centre, Goomarin holds a quiet dignity, a place where the community’s spirit is as steadfast as the ancient rocks that dot the countryside, a testament to generations who have called this patch of Western Australia home.
