About Dunn Rock
Dunn Rock is a vast, sparsely populated rural locality in the Shire of Lake Grace in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, approximately 350 kilometres southeast of Perth. With a population of just 11 at the 2021 census across an enormous 566 square kilometres, it is an isolated wheatbelt farming area. The locality is named after a granite outcrop and sits in the transition zone between the wheatbelt and the semi-arid Mallee scrubland.
Life in Dunn Rock revolves entirely around broad-acre cereal cropping and sheep farming on vast properties. The nearest services are in Lake Grace or Newdegate, both about 30-40 kilometres away. The locality appeals exclusively to farming families, offering extremely affordable land in one of Western Australia's most productive but remote agricultural regions. The landscape features distinctive granite outcrops, salt lakes, and remnant bushland.
Dunn Rock falls under postcode 6355 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Roe (Agricultural) electorate.
