Hamel

Quaint hamlet off the South Western Highway just 2-3 kms south of Waroona

North to Waroona

South to Yarloop

Hamel - Hall

Hamel owes its name to a local land owner (pre-1890's), solicitor and member of parliament, Lancel Victor de Hamel.  This is the Hamel Hall which was built in the 1890's and apparently served as a prison in its very early days. Today it remains a fine, sturdy, wooden structure.  December 2010

Hamel - Farm

Hamel is situated off the South Western Highway south of Waroona. This is a view just past the Hall looking over the Perth-Bunbury railway line level crossing to farm buildings beyond. December 2010
