Wubin is located in the northern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, north-northeast of Perth and north of Dalwallinu.
In 1936 Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd converted the siding to grain bulk handling, installing diesel powered bucket elevators to replace the system of manhandling grain onto rail wagons in hessian sacks. Wubin flourished like most farming towns during the post World War II era; during that time an all-weather road was constructed across Lake Moore to Paynes Find substantially reducing travel times north to the mining areas in the Murchison and Pilbara regions. It is this road, part of the Great Northern Highway, that is now the economic heart of the town. In 2007 the Wubin Primary School, established 18 August 1919, was closed by the Department of Education as a result of falling enrolments. [edit] Research Tips
