Many unusual rocks can be found in the river bed and the area is also renowned for fossils. Mingenew's historical museum housed in the old Road's Board Office contains a collection of relics from the pioneering days. Scenic views of the Irwin valley are afforded from Mingenew Hill. Road access has been built half way up the hill and a stone path and handrail are provided for the climb to the peak. The springtime wildflower displays look magnificent from the hill top.
Facilities are available and the area offers ample opportunity for rock climbing and fossil hunting.
