The John Forrest Tavern, an integral part of the John Forrest National Park, opened its doors in 1978 and soon became a beloved local establishment, celebrated for its warm ambiance and famous for its kangaroos. It served as a cherished meeting place for friends and families, creating enduring memories for over four decades. It was officially closed down on May 31, 2022, for planned redevelopments by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. To preserve the legacy of this iconic establishment, the John Forrest Tavern Collection now stands as a curated assembly of artefacts and memorabilia, capturing the essence of the tavern and inviting visitors to reflect on its cultural impact and the countless moments that unfolded within its walls.
