Jerramungup

Jerramungup is a small town located on the road connecting the Great Southern district to Esperance and beyond. It is 450 kilometres south-east of Perth and is a refuelling and stopping place for travellers. The town was gazetted in 1957. Surveyor Septimus Roe was in the area over one hundred years earlier. The townsite was settled in 1953 as part of the government's War Service Land Settlement scheme for returned servicemen hence the "Soldier Settlement" tag

Jerramungup - Roadhouse

The roadhouse is a focal point in town. Rather than A focal point it is THE focal point. Every traveller would stop here for fuel and sustenance. Locals would call in for their daily necessaries. Next door you can see the motel and hotel. December 2016. Photos Ref: JERR003

Jerramungup - Hotel

Since the town was not really established until the 1950's there is nothing here of any historical note. No century-old buildings for example. Here is the hotel. It looks rather 1960's in design. December 2016. Photos Ref: JERR004
