Kondinin and Hyden are vibrant and welcoming towns 278 kilometres from Perth, WA. The town has evolved from its traditional rural history and today plays a key role within the Wheatbelt in cereal cropping, cattle and sheep production, agricultural innovation, and mining as well as support from industries such as engineering, auto works and tourism. The Shire of Kondinin is home to over 873 residents, is well serviced and is in a beautiful location.
