Meckering is located 130 kilometres east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. Originally settled in 1887 when the town was named Beebering, it was later renamed to Meckering, with an Aboriginal meaning of “place of water”.

Whilst there are no original buildings remaining, a memorial rose garden has been established to signify the historical event.Overnight RV parking is available at the Meckering Memorial Park on Gabbedy Place, free of charge.
