We meet Rosey in Dowerin

Tweet

On our way to Nungarin, one of the towns we passed through was Dowerin. Dowerin lies in West Australia’s wheatbelt area and has a huge annual Field Day year. This attracts farmers, businesses and innovators from all over the state and sometimes from the east as well. There are incentives for best invention in various areas. Private schools often have a display hoping to entice the sons and daughters of farmers to send their children to boarding school. Dowerin is also promoting itself as the ‘tin dog’ town and in the photo you can see Rosey. Rosey has a similar-sized friend called Rusty who sits just a bit further down the main street. Many of the shops have names relating to ‘tin dogs’ and there is also a Dingo Café.
