Donnybrook |
|
|
|
Donnybrook is situated in the South West, or
Harvest Highway as it is becoming known, of Western Australia in a
picturesque area surrounded by stunning old growth forests, winding rivers,
rolling hills, vineyards and lush orchards. Donnybrook
is historically known and is still regarded as the first genuinely
“rural” township of consequence that one enters when travelling south
from
Perth
.
If you are heading to Margaret River, check out the
Alternative route to Margaret River map or hear about it
.
Donnybrook also boasts a highly central location being only half an hour
from the city life and beautiful beaches of Bunbury, an hour from the
tranquil waters of Geographe Bay and the famous Margaret River Wine Region,
while still being within short driving distance of the tall timbers of the
rest of the Southwest’s abundant attractions.
Its central location is also relative to significant and adjacent
areas of employment such as Bunbury, Capel, Collie and Greenbushes.
Due to our healthy local economy, and the benefit of several diverse
industries nearby, we promote a unique rural lifestyle rich in heritage and
culture. Local industries
include Donnybrook sandstone quarrying, farming fruit, vegetables,
viticulture, sheep and cattle.
The Donnybrook
Apple Festival is an annual event held each Easter, and the
Donnybrook
Food and Wine Festival is held in
November.
Tourism is also rapidly becoming an important industry with local
attractions, which include the scenic areas of the
Blackwood
River
Valley
,
State
Forests
, Glen Mervyn Dam, and several established wineries, Donnybrook is central
to the
Geographe
Wine Region. Tourist
accommodation ranges from high-class accommodation to bed and breakfast
establishments. Chalet
developments are situated at various localities in the Shire. There is a
Caravan Park in Kirup and transit parks in Donnybrook and Balingup.
