Dwarda is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 11km (07miles) south of the town of Wandering on the Hotham River.
The name is a contraction of nearby Dwardadine Creek, with "dwarda" being a Noongar name for the dingo. The townsite was first requested by the Wandering Road Board in 1912, with the hope it could become a future terminus for the Hotham Valley Railway, and the townsite, initially called "Dampier", was gazetted in 1914. The town however did not attract settlement. In 1940-41 a timber mill was built here by JC "Charlie" Tucak, and operated for some years.[1]
The townsite is owned by the Horan family, though most of the buildings were destroyed by arson in the mid-1980s.
