Mundijong - Tavern

The Mundijong Tavern on the main street, Paterson Street. Doesn't it look grand! When Mundijong was first settled, the towns name was Jarrahdale Junction! January 2009

 

Mundijong - Tavern

The northern aspect of the Mundijong Tavern. Nice brickwork. January 2009

 

Mundijong - Shops

Right next door to the pub is the fish and chip shop and the post office. January 2009

 

Mundijong - Main Street

A view down the main street. Nice and quiet - one thing that has preserved the quaintness of this town is that it's off the highway so you only get local traffic - and, as you can see, that's not much. The pub is the dominant building by a long shot - fairly typical of W.A. country towns. January 2009

 

Mundijong - Church

This Church is on Paterson Street. No name, no denomination etc, the sign simply says "This Church established 1905". January 2009

 

Mundijong - Thrift Shop

A pink Thrift Shop on Paterson Street. January 2009

 

Mundijong - Livestock Pens

This looks great. The old stock yard loading pens are no longer in use but have been left here as a memory. I guess in the old days stock would be loaded into train trucks. January 2009

 

Mundijong - Train Station

Well we always take a photo of the train station and Mundijong simply can't be left out! And here it is - looking remarkably like many others up and down the line - but this one's got a roof! 2009

 

Mundijong - Train Station

This is the old Mundijong station - good solid-looking wooden building which has been preserved. You can see this building off in the distant right in the photo, above, of the new station. January 2012

 

Mundijong - Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale

The Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale encompasses both of those towns in its name yet is actually located in the townsite of Mundijong, which is the largest and most central town in the shire. The offices are on Paterson Street. 2009

 

Mundijong - Serpentine Grammar School

Heading north on Paterson Road, Mundijong, the road changes its name to Soldiers Road as it leaves the townsite. This is the Serpentine Jarrahdale Grammar School on Soldiers Road, almost as far north as Cardup. Named after the shire, the school was established in 2006 but only moved to this location in 2009.

Mundijong - Christmas Tree

'Tis the season to be merry - December, and the Christmas trees all around the south west are in glorious bloom. This one is next to the rail track at Mundijong. December 2010
