What is so attractive about Drakes Brook Weir?
Located just off Waroona, in the Peel Region it is a popular picnic and recreational swimming area, especially on hot days. We found it a very busy place during October school holidays. And that was no surprise – being away from the beach, the only closest place for Waroona locals to swim was in the weir. Not only that – it is quite picturesque with its green rolling hills at the background and good facilities.
You can enjoy safe swimming, kayaking, paddling or just relaxing on the grass. There are picnic tables, bbqs, shelter, toilets. There is also a short bush walk to observe birdlife.
