Kokerbin Rock
Known as Kokerbin Hill, it is the third largest monolith in Australia and is recognized as an interesting unspoiled spot for flora and fauna study.

Please stay on the designated walkways and enjoy the experience.

Ardath Hotel
Circa 1925, this is a Heritage style hotel. Ardath hotel has been restored as a tavern with restaurant, and counter meals are available. The main bar features original behind-bar furniture. The restaurant is in the restored dining room. If you look closely, you may recognize the hotel from a television commercial for Swan Draught beer.

Bruce Rock Museum & Machinery Museum
The Bruce Rock Museum is located on Johnson Street and contains a comprehensive collection of memorabilia. To the rear of the museum, you will find an original one-room schoolhouse and a replica mud brick settler’s cottage from pioneering farm days.

Situated across the road is the Machinery and Motor Museum, which houses working farm machinery, a vintage car, and a steam traction engine – all from local historical times.

Come in and have a chat with our friendly volunteers in the Museum, and learn about the history of our town.

Shackleton Bank
The Bankwest bank at Shackleton claims to be Australia’s smallest bank. This is a claim that few would argue with. Measuring only 3 metres by 4 metres the bank closed its doors from the business for the last time in 1997.

Throughout its life, the building has been an Aircraft Observation Post during World War II, a Child Care Centre and the Bank of New South Wales before it finally became known as Bankwest.

Bruce Rock Federation Amphitheatre & Sculpture Park
Officially opened in October 2001, the Amphitheatre seats up to 1200 people. Designed and built by the local community, it is the host for many get-togethers and community events including the annual Vietnam Veterans Reunion and many other shows, concerts, and community initiatives.

The adjoining Sculpture Park has contributions of artwork from all around the region and is a unique place for a family picnic or a peaceful stroll around picturesque gardens.
