JARRAHDALE HERITAGE PARK
Jarrahdale Road, Jarrahdale
Tel: (08) 9321 6088
Jarrahdale lies in a valley of the Darling Range some 45 km south-east of Perth. Its very name indicates the important role it played in the milling and exporting of the durable and desirable jarrah timber around the world. The Park, with its walk trails, working mill (the only surviving steam driven saw mill in the Jarrahdale region) and mill manager’s residence celebrate the town’s legacy. Ongoing conservation and interpretation works are being carried out by the National Trust in conjunction with the local government authority.

OLD BLYTHEWOOD*
6161 South West Highway, Pinjarra
Tel: (08) 9531 1485
Set on a high bank overlooking the fertile flats of the Murray River, Old Blythewood stands as a testament to the industry, ingenuity and flexibility of the pioneering McLarty family. Not content with merely farming, John and Mary Anne McLarty, who built the house in 1860, were also pastoralists, publicans, and provided postal services, bridge and road building.

OPEN: Sat 10.30am–3.30pm, Sun 12.30pm-3.30pm and Monday public holidays 12.30pm-3.30pm.

CLOSED: ALL February & August; 20 December to 8 January 2011

PINJARRA COURTHOUSE
George Street, Pinjarra
Tel: (08) 9321 6088
Built on the site of the original 1864 courthouse, the one we see today was constructed in the mid 1930s by the Public Works Department. It is a key heritage building on the main street of town along with the adjoining Post Office and Police Station. Its use as a court building ceased in 2003. It continues to be used for community purposes and can be viewed externally.
