Boyanup - South Western Highway
A quiet looking main street on a Sunday morning. This is looking north from next to the bakery. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Lunch Bar
On the north side of town is this lunch bar and general purpose store & newsagency. It was busy today with people dropping in for milk and the Sunday Times and other produce. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Hotel
Another grand-looking hotel, this time it's the Boyanup Bull and Bush Tavern. It's on the main street (South Western Highway). Closed this Sunday morning. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Old Boyanup Cafe
Again on the main street, looking north, is the Old Boyanup Cafe, Lunch Bar and Bakery. This shop looks likes its been beautifully maintained. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Butchers Shop
I just love these tiny little buildings that crop up in country towns such as this. This is the Boyanup Meat Supply and the shop frontage is hardly larger than a side of beef! February 2011 |

|
Boyanup - Railway Bogie
Just what is this railway bogie doing here at the north end of town? Perhaps it is part of commemorating the times when Boyanup was a really important rail town on the Bunbury-Bridgetown and Bunbury-Boyup Brook lines? February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Challenge Dairy
This is the Challenge Dairy on the east side of town. Very, very quiet here on a Sunday morning. I read somewhere today that this dairy had gone broke. I hope not. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Railway Station
This is what is left of the Boyanup railway station. You can see the remains of the platform. That old English oak tree was planted on 12th January 1904 by one Terence Reilly, commemorating the birth of his 4th son, Hugh. Another plaque on the platform remembers the completion of the Bunbury - Boyanup rail line on 12th March 1891. Graham McKinnon (local MLC) unveiled the plaque in 1979. February 2011 |

Boyanup - Transport Museum
Who knows that there is a Boyanup Transport and Rural Museum? Well, I didn't. Regrettably it's closed until further notice. This old railway signal is in the "stop" position, halting anyone wanting to go into the museum until it's opened again. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Transport Museum
I was able to walk around the perimeter of the closed museum. Recognise this? It's a diesel rail car that used to ply the Perth-Armadale-Fremantle-Midland lines pre-electrification and pre those later silver diesel rail cars that were in service. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Transport Museum
Another railcar in the Boyanup museum. This looks like one of the metropolitan diesel service carriages hauled by a locomotive as in the above photo. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - St Louis Church
This pretty looking church is the Catholic Parish of Dardanup and Boyanup, St Louis' Church Boyanup. February 2011 |
|
|
Boyanup - Anglican Church
Another Boyanup church. This is St Georges Anglican Church. Not sure when it was built as it doesn't appear to have a foundation stone. February 2001 |
|
|
Boyanup - Anglican Op Shop
Originally the Boyanup Methodist Church built in 1956, this is now the Opportunity Shop for the Anglican Church. I'm sure this building has an interesting history. February 2011 |
