About Mount Stirling
Mount Stirling is an extremely small rural locality in the WA Wheatbelt region, situated approximately 200 kilometres east of Perth near the town of Bruce Rock (postcode 6383). With a recorded population of just 16 people, it is one of the smallest localities in Western Australia, encompassing rural farmland on the gentle undulating terrain typical of the Wheatbelt. The locality sits within a largely cleared agricultural landscape devoted to grain cropping and sheep farming.
Life in Mount Stirling is quintessentially remote Wheatbelt farming, with residents engaged in broadacre agriculture across large pastoral properties. The nearest service centre is Bruce Rock, which provides basic amenities including a supermarket, school, medical centre, and fuel. Perth is accessible in under three hours by car via the Great Eastern Highway, though the absence of public transport makes a private vehicle an absolute necessity for daily life.
Mount Stirling falls under postcode 6383 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
