Tincurrin, Western Australia

Tincurrin is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 250 kilometres (155 mi) south-east of Perth and within the Shire of Wickepin.

Tincurrin's name is of Aboriginal origin, and was first recorded in 1892 by J. O. Oxley, a surveyor, for a spring in the area, but the meaning is not known.

Land nearby was set aside for a townsite the following year, and in 1922 Tincurrin was gazetted.

[2] In 1925 a post office was built and in 1938-39 a one-classroom school (which today has 10 students) and CBH grain handling bins were constructed.

The area around Tincurrin is home to wildflowers in spring, especially verticordia.
