The small peaceful town of Boyup
Brook is located 269 km South East of Perth. Nestled in lush
farming land and natural bush, Boyup Brook is the gateway to the
Blackwood River. The town is situated between the South West and
Albany highways and provides an ideal opportunity to leave the busy
life of the city and and relax in a clean and tranquil
environment of rolling hills and beautiful wildflowers. You can
also experience the friendly service from the local Boyup
Brook residents.
Boyup Brook is a great place to visit
and it is full of surprises. The town is located on the Blackwood
River and is rich in local history. There is the pioneer museum
where you peer back into our agricultural past or the wonderful
mysterious holograms produced by local artist Sandy Chambers. The
Sandakan Memorial gives visitors an appreciation of the tragedy of
war whilst the Carnaby Beetle and Butterfly collection highlights
the wonders of nature. These are just a few of the many things to
see and do in Boyup Brook so why not take a break and spend some
wonderful time in this warm and picturesque rural
community.
