Description:
Pinjarra is a historic town established (c1834). Located 57 mins (83.2km/51.6miles) south of Perth, the township is the central hub of the Shire of Murray. It boasts many significant heritage sites such as Edenvale, which was the grand home of former WA Premier Sir Ross McLarty. Other significant buildings in the area include St Johns Church, Old Blythewood and Fairbridge Village which were built from the mid 1800's through to early 1900's when the State of Western Australia was being settled. The beautiful Murray River flows all year round throughout the Shire passing through the picturesque hills in Dwellingup, through the heritage town of Pinjarra, to peaceful Ravenswood and the Yunderup delta and into the Harvey/Peel Estuary. There is a large variety of community services and businesses in Pinjarra which makes this town a thriving community and an iconic attraction for visitors.
