About Broomehill West
Broomehill West is a rural locality in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, situated adjacent to the town of Broomehill within the Shire of Broomehill-Tambellup. The locality covers approximately 628 square kilometres at an elevation of around 309 metres, with the Great Southern Highway and the historic Great Southern Railway forming much of its eastern border. With a population of 173 residents, Broomehill West is one of the many small pastoral localities that define the agricultural heart of WA's Great Southern region.
The broader Broomehill area offers basic community facilities including a post office, roadhouse, and the Broomehill Museum — a heritage brick building from 1898 once used as the town hall. Residents are well-connected via the Great Southern Highway, which links north to Katanning (approximately 20 kilometres away) and south towards Albany. Katanning serves as the primary service centre for most shopping, schooling, and health needs. The quiet, paddock-framed character of Broomehill West appeals to farmers and those seeking an unhurried lifestyle in WA's southern wheatbelt.
