Darkan

Darkan, nestled in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region, serves as the seat of the Shire of West Arthur. Established in 1906, the town offers a range of amenities, including a roadhouse, supermarket, telecentre, golf course, shire hall, hotel, synthetic tennis courts, basketball courts, primary school, and a skatepark. A notable addition is "The Shed," a workshop primarily for retirees, featuring woodworking and metalworking areas for personal projects. The town is surrounded by fertile, high-rainfall wheat and sheep farming areas, complemented by bushland reserves rich in wildflowers during spring.
