Shire of Sandstone

Situated on the main road between Mt Magnet and Leinster, right in the heart of the spectacular east Murchison District, Sandstone is where you’ve got the action of gold prospecting and the industry of mining and pastoral stations, all coexisting with a rapidly growing Tourism industry.

Throughout the Sandstone area natural rock formations or breakaways contrast dramatically with the rust stained sandstone landscape which gives the town its name. The mainly flat surroundings of Sandstone and the distant horizons give the impression of a very large sky which provides that wide open and free feeling which one can only experience in the outback.
