Attraction / Museums

Tractor Museum of WA

The Tractor Museum at Whiteman Park keeps WA's agricultural machines and the work around them in view. Volunteers also run a tractor parade on some second Sundays, weather permitting. Its website still shows an old August 2026 “next parade” date, so check a current event notice before travelling solely to hear an engine start.

The Tractor Museum at Whiteman Park keeps WA's agricultural machines and the work around them in view. Volunteers also run a tractor parade on some second Sundays, weather permitting. Confirm the next announced parade date with the museum before travelling solely to hear an engine start; a regular monthly pattern does not guarantee a particular event.

Machines with a local story

The museum describes nearly eighty tractors plus engines, older trucks, farm-life objects and photographs. A machine's size can be impressive, but the labels and volunteers give the reason it mattered to work in WA. The pictured Tail End Charlie Chamberlain tractor is a genuine museum object photographed in 2008; its location and condition can change.

Museum hours versus parade day

The operator lists 10am–3pm Wednesday to Friday and 10am–4pm weekends and public holidays, closed on Christmas Day. Ordinary opening is separate from the monthly tractor parade. The site describes a second Sunday, about 1.15pm parade if the weather and volunteers permit, but the “next parade” date shown there has passed. Confirm the next announced date with the museum or Whiteman Park. Do not promise a ride or a running tractor with general entry.

The address is 233A Drumpellier Drive, within a large park. Ask which buildings, outdoor paths and viewing positions work for your mobility needs; machinery can make demonstrations loud. The Motor Museum and Revolutions are separate institutions nearby with their own hours and admission.
