The Broomehill Wine Region includes the area in the Great Southern Wine Region north of Cranbrook, and includes wineries near Kojonup, Katanning, Broomehill, Tambellup and Cranbrook. Broomehill is a delightful place to visit with many interesting sites to see and there is self-guided walking tour through the village and you can also join a guided tour. For the more adventurous you can follow the historic Holland Track to an old gold mining area. You can get a map from the Broomehill Shire. Best times to walk along the track re during autumn and, especially during spring when the wildflowers are in bloom. The local Museum contains a delightful collection of interesting machinery, historic items and memorabilia in well-organised displays. The town of Broomehill was established when the Great
Southern Railway was completed in 1889. The railway runs from Beverley to Albany.
The Broom Hill economy is based on sheep and wheat farming although recently
local farmers have diversified into grape growing, wineries and aquaculture
based on intensive Barramundi farming.
