Trayning

Located 235 kilometres from Perth, along the Wheatbelt Way self drive route, the Trayning Shire contains the towns of Kununoppin, Trayning and Yelbeni and is home to 430 people with a distinct focus on agriculture.

The area is named after Trayning Well, the Aboriginal name of a nearby water source located on the old road from Goomalling to the Eastern Goldfields. It was first recorded by a surveyor in 1892 and allegedly derives from the Aboriginal word 'during', meaning 'snake in the grass by the campfire'.
