. About Kellerberrin .
Kellerberrin is a small town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
It lies approximately 205 kilometers East of Perth.
We are fortunate enough to have the Great Eastern Highway run through town,
making it an important stop for travelers heading inland.
We are located on Balardung Aboriginal land.
The origin of the town's name comes from the local indigenous language.
In the 1860s a nearby hill was always known as ‘Killabin’ (There are various spellings).
The hill was first recorded as “Killaburing Hill” in 1861. In 1864, explorer Charles Hunt noted it as "Kellerberrin Hill".
The meaning of the name is up to interpretation, one source claims that it refers to "Keela" a name for a fierce type of ant found in the area, while another gives it as meaning “camping place near where rainbow birds are found” – “kalla” meaning camping place and “berrin berrin” being the rainbow bird.
