SMELL AT THE SANDALWOOD FACTORY
The world’s largest producer of Indian sandalwood
exists because of the Ord Irrigation Scheme. The
sandalwood tree is planted with three other host
trees that it feeds off and eventually kills before
it is harvested. Sandalwood is then turned into
incense. The oil is used in perfumes, skin-care
products and aromatherapies, while the hard
heart of the timber is very valuable.
The Sandalwood Factory is a must-visit.
The Sandalwood Factory is located 15km from
town via Weaber Plain Road and is a great place
to learn, smell and feel what makes sandalwood
so valuable. It is also a great spot to pick up
some gifts and you will certainly be able to find
something special that comes in under budget.
There is also a café and a kid’s playground.
