Dardanup

Just a handful of kilometres south-east of Bunbury but away from the city hustle and bustle it's a peaceful dairy farming centre


West to Bunbury  

South to Boyanup

     
 

Dardanup - Hall

The Dardanup Hall is a few hundred metres out of town on the Waterloo Road. All's quiet on this Sunday morning. December 2010

 

Dardanup - Visitor Centre

This is the Dardanup Visitor Centre. Set behind a rather fabulous rose garden that was too hard to picture! This building used to be Dardanup's state school from 1897 to 1971. It was restored in 1988 as a bicentennial project to how it looks now .. fabulous. December 2010

 

Dardanup - Building

This building is rather intriguing. Whilst of an old design is look recently built but that could be because of quality renovating. Couldn't see any indicator of its real age - e.g. foundation stone or the original building name/purpose and year built etched into the upper section (as so often was the practice). Street level is a clothes shop. December 2010

 

Dardanup - School

Our Lady of Lourdes school in Dardanup appears to be a Catholic school. The brickwork looks great. Next to the school is a chapel which seems to be of an older vintage. December 2010

 

Dardanup - Church

The foundation stone of this Dardanup church was laid by the Reverend Dr R. Prendiville, Archbishop of Perth, on December 12th 1937. December 2010

 

Dardanup - General Store

The Dardanup general store on the main street. Country stores such as this usually carry a wide range of goods which make them interesting. December 2010

 

Dardanup - Tavern

The Dardanup Tavern. Yes, another pub! The Dardanup was established in 1905 and is still going strong today. Possibly a more peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Bunbury? December 2010

 

Dardanup - Post Office

A close of view of the front of the local post office which is situated on the main street. December 2010

 

Dardanup - Butchers

The local butcher's shop is situated well away from other prominent buildings in town. It's across the railway line on the South Western Highway. December 2010
