Statement of Significance
Barragup Fish Munga is of high social, cultural and historic significance to Aboriginal people as a site where legal, social and ceremonial activities took place. Barragup Fish Munga, if appropriately interpreted, can demonstrate early contact between Aboriginal people and settlers, as well as explore differing attitudes towards use of natural resources.
Physical Description
No remains survive. Originally brushwood trap stretched across the river.
History
Largest gathering place for Aboriginal people in one precise spot in the State. It was used as a trading centre, with people coming from as far afield as the Eastern States to trade. The history of the Barragup (or Barraghup) area is very ancient. During late summer and autumn, 400 to 500 Aboriginal people would assemble from a wide area to camp there, catch fat mullet, and feast for weeks at a time. A large fish trap, a mung-ah the Nyoongar language, was constructed near where the Barragup Bridge now stands. This consisted of a fence made of spearwood and brushwood, and the mullet could be picked out of the water and thrown to people waiting on the bank. It is said that no fish was ever returned to the water in case they warned other fish of the danger. Naturally, European settlers were keen to take advantage of easy fish supplies, but they seem to have caught so many at Barragup that the mullet were practically driven to extinction. All that were left were small pilchards and bream. What could have been a great supply of food for the district was wrecked by overexploitation. Charles Tuckey reported that he had secured 10,000 tins of fish for his cannery from this source in six weeks in 1896. There was tension between the local Indigenous people and white fishermen and the Munga was destroyed. However, it was rebuilt at least three times in the 1890s by Billy Dower, who argued effectively with the Governor for its retention. The Munga was finally destroyed by a Marines and Harbours snagging operation in 1937.

Statement of Significance
The Barragup mungah site is of very high social, cultural and historical significance to Nyungar people, because it was a site where legal, social and ceremonial activities took place. The site is also of considerable rchaeologicalsignificance for reasons of representativeness and research potential. Barragup was not just a site but rather a ‘site complex’ which was multifunctional and had major significance to Southwest Nyungars.
Physical Description
A wooden weir that crossed the Serpentine River. The weir comprised brush andsticks laced together into a ‘barrier’ stretching from bank to bank, leaving only a small gap in the centre, into which fish were forced by the current. People stood on either side of the gap, tossing out hundreds of the fish that passed through.The weir was probably used mainly during autumn when run-off from the first rains forced the sea-fish downstream.
History
The Barragup mungah (or fish trap/weir) was located on the Serpentine River, some 100 metres downstream from the bridge on the Mandurah-Pinjarra Road. The Serpentine River itself was an important food source for Aborigines both in the hills and down towards the coast. The Barragup mungah was in regular use during the 19th century, and probably for centuries prior to European colonisation, although archaeological evidence suggests that the Serpentine and Murray rivers were being fished a few centuries after the present estuarine system formed some five thousand years ago. The Barragup mungah in particular would have provided enough fish during the season to enable hundreds of people to congregate in the district for weeks or months on end. It was during these gatherings that the different Nyungar sub-groups carried out many of their legal, social and ceremonial activities.The mungah was the source of some dissension between Aborigines and white fisherman during the 1890s, with local fishermen and the Fisheries Inspectors claiming that it was leading to a decline in fish numbers. The mungah was destroyed at least three times and rebuilt, and in 1897 a deputation of local Aborigines lodged a complaint with Governor Smith, who was visiting Mandurah. It appears that European fishermen also used the mungah at times, and Charles Tuckey reported to a Joint Select Committee appointed to look into the fishingindustry that he had secured 10,000 tins from that source in six weeks in 1896. The mungah was finally destroyed by a Marine and Harbours snagging operation in 1937.A team of divers from the WA Maritime Museum, accompanied by archaeologists, found that the Serpentine River bottom had been cleared of any wooden structures, and all they recovered was a single wooden stake, sharpened by a steel axe. Archaeologists have been unable to determine whether the stake was in fact part of the mungah.

Statement of Significance
Kelly House is a rare example of a concrete dome residence in Western Australia, demonstrating a high level of technical achievement in residential construction. Kelly House is a highly unusual example of the owner-builder tradition in this State.
Physical Description
Kelly House is an elliptical dome residence constructed of a thin concrete shell supported on brickwork under walls, and brick piers. It tapers at ten points to create parabolic arches reminiscent of Roy Ground’s Shine Dome in Canberra.
History
Concrete shell structures were introduced to the United States in the early 1930s, importing the technology from Germany. Their development and promotion were successful, and many industrial buildings were built during World War II. For a decade, starting from 1956, architectural magazines were full of examples of structures built by many different designers. In the 1950s, prominent Melbourne’s architect, Roy Grounds, designed a series of purely geometrically formed buildings, such as a circle, an equilateral triangle, and a square with a circular void in the centre. One notable achievement was The Shine Dome (1959), Canberra, which consists of a flattened concrete shell tapering off to sixteen points, creating a parabolic arch between each load point. Kevin Kelly was a carpenter from Victoria Park, Western Australia, who obtained his builders ticket to construct a family home in 1966. His daughter, Ms Janice Hill, recalls his ‘inventive mind’ always experimenting with dome shapes, starting with small scale models, and increasing to a small workshop (still extant), before finally building a family home along the same design in Ruan Place, Kewdale (now demolished). Although superficially like commercial designs from the 1960s (e.g. the Binishell), this place is an unusual example of the tradition of the designer owner-builder in Western Australia, demonstrating Kevin Kelly’s aesthetic sensibility and his considerable skills in design and fabrication. The place demonstrates a high level of technical achievement in residential construction. After it was constructed, Ms Hill recalls great interest from people, many of whom would drive by just to look at the house. After this residence, in the mid-1970s Mr Kelly constructed Kelly House at Barragup, where he currently (2019) resides.

Statement of Significance
Birchmont Homestead presents the traditional form and roof shape of an early (1860s) homestead and has significance as one of the earliest extant residences in the Murray District. Birchmont Homestead has the capacity to reveal information about early building techniques and archaeological potential to give information about agriculture in the mid-19th century.
Physical Description
Birchmont Homestead is located on the edge of Lake McLarty. It is constructed of limestone and daub mud, with an iron roof lined with pitsawn weatherboard. The site includes several outbuildings and old machinery.
History
Arthur Birch arrived in WA in 1841, aged seventeen. He studied to enter the legal profession, and married Sophia Jane Leeder. In the mid-1850s, Arthur and Sophia, together with their children moved to the Murray District. In 1862, Birch constructed Birchmont Homestead on the eastern side of the Harvey Estuary. The construction was carried out by Bates, with Levi Green reputed to have provided the shingles. Birch obtained 100 acres, and erected barns and other outbuildings. Despite poor soil, Birch grew wheat, mulberry and fig trees, and vines. However, the farm depended chiefly depended on cattle and horses, reared on extensive grazing concessions. Until subdivisions around 1900, Birchmont’s stock roamed an area of up to 180 sq. km. After Arthur Birch died in 1915, subsequent subdivisions caused the curtailment of Birchmont, and the original holding had shrunk to a few hundred acres by 1960. Vandals ripped up the original floorboards and broke windows around 2006, at the time of special rural subdivision of Lot 68 Mills Road. Consequently, the place is currently (2019) in poor condition; however, planning approval has been granted for restoration and conservation works.

Statement of Significance
The homestead at Pinjarrah Park Estate is representative of the colonial style, with cellars and kitchen underneath the house. It is a fine example of the way of life of wealthy pioneers.Pinjarrah Park Mill is one of the few remaining mill structures in the region and was powered using machinery parts brought from Cooper’s Mill.Pinjarrah Park Estate is associated with Theodore Fawcett, Member of Legislative Council, Resident Magistrate for Murray, and the only Western Australian distiller of brandy.
Physical Description
The homestead is a well constructed brick bungalow, constructed from locally made bricksand originally roofed with locally cut sheoak shingles. Home was built in the 'typical' colonial style, with cellars and kitchen underneath the house.Hipped timber-framed roof, clad in lapped timber boarding on exposed rafters and crossties, now clad in aluminium tile sheeting.Contains a small grove of citrus trees and camellias. The camellia Society of Australia hassourced the original import docket for the camellias, dating from 1860.Olive trees located all around the property.Pinjarra Park Mill is a large red brick building with a huge chimney and kiln. The mill is inruins and located approximately 200m south of the homestead.
History
The property was originally acquired by Francis Wickham on behalf of his brother-in-law, Theodore Fawcett, a captain of the Hussars, who was residing in England at the time. Fawcett (1832-98) came to the colony in 1858 to develop the grant. He engaged ticket-of-leave men to clear the bush and erect buildings. It has been noted that some of these builders must have been skilled craftsmen, since the homestead is one of the finest in the area. The bricks, as with other places in the district, were made on site and the timber and shingles were hand sawn. The homestead was designed in the style of an English country house, with a large cellar underneath, part of which was originally used as a kitchen. Fawcett returned to England to marry Eliza in 1864, returning to the colony with his bride. He continued to improve the property, building the flour mill and other outbuildings, although few additions were made to the homestead. Evidence suggests that the Mill was constructed in 1865, the year Fawcett acquired mill machinery from Cooper’s Mill at Yunderup which closed permanently in that year. The Pinjarrah Park Mill ground wheat for Fawcett’s use as well as for early farmers in the district. Because wheat as a crop did not thrive in the Pinjarra locality, together with the incursion of rust in wheat crops in the district, by the 1880s and 1890s Murray farmers could no longer compete with the successful wheat growing areas elsewhere in the Colony. Murray farmers concentrated on alternative crops – potatoes, meat, wool, hides and fruit growing. Consequently, Fawcett’s Mill fell into disuse and, up to the present day, into a state of dereliction. Theodore Fawcett earned recognition as well as a Justice of the Peace, for his election in May 1886 to the Legislative Council for the Murray and Williams, and for his assistance in framing the new Constitution for Responsible Government. Fawcett was twice Acting Resident Magistrate for the Murray District. He played a major role in the development of the Pinjarra district and was Captain and co-founder of the Pinjarra Mounted Volunteers, a Calvary Corps, until it was disbanded in 1882. He served on the Murray Roads Board and was elected to the Legislative Council as the Member for Murray-Williams from 1886 to 1889.Pinjarra Park Homestead was the focus of the social life of Pinjarra society in Fawcett’s time there. The father of seven children: - Theodore John Henry, b. 14/08/1865 - Mary Agnes, b. 06/10/1866 - Charles William Theodore, b. 23/06/1870 - Ernest Murray Johnson, b. 1868 - Agnes Constance Augusta, b. 01/08/1868 - Emmeline Eleanor May, b. 05/1875 - Eva Adela Julia, b. 1877 Fawcett died on 21 March 1898 at the age of 66 following a long illness, having for 25 years dominating the political and social life of the Murray district. He was buried in the Church of England Cemetery in Pinjarra. A caretaker’s dwelling was constructed in 2015.

Statement of Significance
Old Blythewood demonstrates the principal characteristics of the Old Colonial Georgian style of architecture in Western Australia, in particular through the surviving Flemish bond brick and shingle house. Old Blythewood was one of the staging inns on the road to Vasse, so contributing to the development of transport links in the south west of the State. Old Blythewood contributes to the community's sense of place by providing a physical and social link with the past economic development and political importance of the Murray District. Old Blythewood has a close association with the McLarty family, a prominent family in the Murray District, and early participants in the pastoral industry in the Kimberley. Members of the family contributed to the development of political life of the State, at a high level, from 1894 to 1962.
Physical Description
Old Blythewood comprises a Flemish bond brick and shingle house, a Flemish bond brickand iron kitchen block, 19th century farm outbuildings, 1920s outbuildings, mature trees,and associated garden.The place is set in rural surrounds overlooking the Murray River.The galvanised roof of the main house was replaced with shingle in 1975 and again in the1990s. Following failure of the shingles in 2007, the roof was replaced with galvanised iron.
History
Captain R. G. Meares acquired 6,109 acres in 1837, including the future site of Old Blythewood. His brother and son ran the property, though they encountered conflict with the local Aborigines, especially when the farm was left unattended. Consequently, Meares decided to sell the property to concentrate his efforts in the Avon district.Murray Location 3 was sold for £1,000 in April 1856 to John McLarty. McLarty paid half theamount in cash, and the property was soon after called ‘Blythewood’.It is likely that McLarty moved to the new homestead in 1859 or 1860, having selected a site to the south of a cottage occupied by the Meares.The homestead was commenced in approximately 1856, and completed approximately1861 with the building at the rear of the main house having been constructed first (possibly by Meares) and was later converted to kitchen and storeroom use.Blythewood was built in the general colonial style: a long dwelling with verandahs front and back connected by a passageway across the centre of the house and with the bedrooms leading off the verandah. The kitchen was set apart from the main structure as was also the custom at the time.Mary Anne McLarty was the Pinjarra Postmistress from 1847, and when the family moved to the property, the town’s Post Office was also relocated to Blythewood. Mrs McLartyperformed the duties of postmistress until 1868, where a new building was constructed onGeorge Street, Pinjarra.McLarty obtained a publican’s licence in 1860 and opened the Pinjarra Arms. The hotel was discontinued in the 1890s due to the arrival of the railway line to Pinjarra. One of theMcLarty sons then built the Premier Hotel in Pinjarra and transferred the publican’s licence.McLarty employed Ticket-of-Leave men during the 1850s and 1860s as labour was hard to find, and the family was unable to make the necessary improvements to their land without it.The wide-ranging McLarty cattle business was developed by the three sons, Edward,Hector and William. This included extensive grazing rights in the Kimberley at LiveringaStation.John and Mary Anne remained at Blythewood, able to observe the growing prosperity oftheir family.Old Blythewood was accepted by the Commonwealth Government as part of the Australian National Heritage, enabling federal funds to be used by the National Trust for its restoration.The layout is of a traditional colonial design where all rooms would have been accessed off the verandah. Alterations also took place as rooms were converted for family use afterceasing to function as an inn.In 1996, approval was given for use of the place as a tea room and historical display.In 2010, Old Blythewood continues to be operated by the National Trust as one of itshistoric homes which can be visited.

Statement of Significance
Although heavily restored, Cooper’s Mill is still readable as a mill from the early colonial era. Cooper’s Mill is thought to be the first wind powered flour mill constructed in the district and the only one to remain in existence. The location of Cooper’s Mill on a small island, with access only by boat, reflects the importance of water transport in the early settlement of Western Australia.
Physical Description
Cooper’s Mill was a rotating wind driven mill constructed in a round plan form, subsequentlyadapted to accommodate a steam engine.Located on a relatively flat island, the Mill was constructed near the water’s edge in twostages. The first stage was an 8m diameter two-storey cylindrical tower constructed fromrough limestone blocks, now rendered externally. A door is located on the west at groundlevel and windows on the north and south side of the upper level. The tower was originallycapped with a rotating roof turned by means of a beam at ground level.Changing from wind to steam power resulted in an extension to the building for the steamengine. The second stage is 3m square Flemish bond clay brick, with a door on the northside and a verandah to the north, east and south.The original mill stone is located within the mill tower.
History
Joseph Cooper commenced construction of Cooper’s Mill in 1843 and it was completed by his sons, James and Thomas, after Joseph’s death. Joseph and Elizabeth Cooper arrived aboard the Warrior in 1830 with four of their eight children, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Joseph and Mary Anne. A house was built facing the main channel of the river, not far from the mill. Cooper did most of the work himself and left the running of the family farm to his eldest son. Cooper died following a cart accident in 1847 and his son, Joseph Jr, was left the family property in Pinjarra. The mill at Yunderup was left to his younger brothers, Thomas and James. James and Thomas completed the mill with the help of Dan Myerick, a carpenter, and Josiah Stinton, and it was in use by 1850. In the early 1860s, the mill was converted to steam power by the addition of a room built on the south side of the mill. In the floods of 1862, the newly installed steam plant was flooded, and the mill suffered the loss of flour and grain. The bulk of grain producing country was centred further inland and by 1865, Cooper’s Mill closed, and the machinery sold to Captain Fawcett for his small mill at Pinjarra. The mill building was unused for years and later used as a smoke house for the curing of fish. The family leased the whole island as a stock run prior to the 1880s, eventually abandoning the lease. The abandoned house and mill were pillaged for their materials. Around the beginning of the 20th century the mill housed a recluse. Carelessly lit fires resulted in the destruction of the stairs and lower floor timbers. In 1930 the Murray Roads Board assumed responsibility for the care of the mill following the wishes of the Cooper family to have the building conserved. In the ensuing years, little was done to conserve the mill, which became the cause of some animated correspondence between the Cooper family and the Roads Board. In 1949 the land was gazetted as a Reserve for ‘Camping and Recreation’ and vested with the Shire of Murray. Some remedial works were undertaken in the 1950s, but it was not until 1984 a large program of work was undertaken under a CEP project. The project saw the reconstruction of the engine house, and re-roofing of the mill. In 1984, a Toilet Block was constructed followed by a Caretaker’s Residence in 1986.Between 2002 and 2005, significant works were undertaken on the mill and reserve; removing asbestos slates on both the mill building and engine room, reconfiguration of the roof to its original pitch and re-roofing in shingles. Re-pitching also meant increasing the height of the engine room walls. The verandah was reconfigured in pitch, re-roofed in shingles and support poles replaced in timber to reflect the original fabric. The mill building interior walls were also repointed. Mooring facilities have been upgraded on the south side of the island, upgrading of picnic area with new shelters, seating, BBQs, play equipment, lawn and landscaping. The building is under threat due to regular seasonal flooding of the delta area, which has been particularly exacerbated by the increased tidal ranged caused by the opening of the Dawesville Cut, and from sea level rise.

Statement of Significance
Avondale still has the typical external presentation of an 1890s rural residence, although it has been modified. Avondale has remained little altered on the interior since extensive renovations were undertaken in the 1930s. Avondale is associated with the Herron and Pollard families, significant early European settlers in the district.
Physical Description
Brick residence with six rooms in the main building, with an additional two rooms in the bathhouse extension. Interior has an Art Deco ceiling decoration and fireplace, probably from comprehensive renovations undertaken during the 1930s. There appears to be little alteration since that time. The place is in poor condition, and through ongoing neglect, steadily collapsing. During a site inspection in 2011 the homestead was sinking on reactive clay, since it lacks foundations. There was visible cracking to walls, white ant infested with the internal wood floors rotted. Ceilings were bowed and mouldy, windows broken, and roof panels are missing. During a site inspection in 2018 it was noted the front verandah had collapsed, including the support posts, ceilings collapsed, front door rotted and falling in and multiple panels broken or removed from the bathroom extension.
History
In 1839 the Fairburn family arrived in the Colony, and some years later took up a small area of land on which Avondale is situated.The first residence was a mud brick cottage, constructed on the river bank. Subsequently,James Herron built a small three-roomed cottage between the river and the presentAvondale.Avondale was the site of the first Coolup general store, operated by Messrs Doig andDevoretsky, who rented a room from James Herron. They retailed tinned meats, farmrequisites, and groceries. It is thought that the store went out of business because theowners were too generous, including invitations for meals for their customers. When thepartners left, the business was temporarily carried on by Bella Herron.James Herron lived at the property until his death in 1877. The place was subsequentlymanaged by his eldest daughter, Rachel, until her death in an accident on Lake Clifton in1885.From 1885, Bella Herron was in charge of the property until it was obtained by Robert andMargaret Pollard and Avondale was constructed in 1893.Avondale became the social centre of the district, with dances held in the barn. A tenniscourt was laid out to the north of the residence.Avondale continued to be occupied until the 1980s.

Statement of Significance
Murray Vale is a good example of an early symmetrical farm homestead whichhas had several additions to meet the changing needs of the occupiers.Despite alterations, the façade is still readable as a simplified form of Georgianarchitecture in weatherboard.Murray Vale is associated with early European settlement of the East Cooluparea.Murray Vale is associated with the Pollard and Herron families, significantfarming families in the development of the Shire of Murray.
Physical Description
Murray Vale is a weatherboard and iron homestead, located near the banks ofthe Murray River. It has had repeated additions, with the most recent probablydating to the 1960s.
History
In 1854, Thomas and John Pollard each took up ten-acre blocks by the river atCoolup, adjacent to the Ford. These were Murray Locations 44 and 45. CoolupRoad now passes between the blocks, and the present bridge is just upstreamfrom the ford. John’s block was to the north of the present road, and Thomas’to the south.John Pollard built a timber slab house near the river, and this burnt down inMarch 1864. A second house was built further up the slope on top of the bankto avoid further flooding. It seems unlikely any trace of this building nowremains.When James Herron and Thomas Pollard merged their farming activities, mid-1870s, a three-roomed house, presumed to be the core of Murray Vale, wasconstructed on the southern block at East Coolup.It seems probable the Herron family used Murray Vale as one of their tworesidences, and after the deaths of James and Isabella Herron, the propertywas managed by Rachel Herron until her tragic death in 1886. By then, thesmall original block had been extended including grazing areas west and southof the river. Subsequently, the property was occupied by Bella Herron until thebuilding of Avondale in 1893.The Pollard family retained ownership of Murray Vale until 1902 when it wassold to Harrie Davies, who had served in the Boer War. Davies was knownlocally for his motoring enthusiasm, and is said to have owned the first car inCoolup, a Ford Model T.Physical evidence suggests the street façade of the property may have beenextensively renovated during Davies’ occupancy. It is also during this periodthe name Murray Vale appears to have been attached to the property (see, forexample, Sunday Times, 26 September 1915).Subsequent additions have taken place c.1920s-30s, and 1960s, althoughthere may also be a 1940s extension. It is likely rooms were added to meet thefamily needs of the occupiers.Further renovations have taken place in the 21st century, including the claddingof the rear of the building in corrugated metal.

Statement of Significance
Coolup CWA Hall is a representative weatherboard and iron country hall, reconstructed from the material of a former school located elsewhere.Coolup CWA Hall has social significance for the members of the Coolup CWA who have used the place, as well as descendents of former pupils who were taught in the school building.
Physical Description
A relocated (in 1950) weatherboard and iron single classroom school.
History
The first school at East Coolup, situated on a Government reserve south of Burnside, was opened at the beginning of 1896. Material for the construction of the one classroom and single room for teacher’s accommodation came from Hannan’s Mill in the Marrinup Valley. Foundation pupils came from the families of: Salter, Green, Farmer, McKay, Tuckey, Williams, Kirkham, Whittaker and Mippy. Mr Havil, the first teacher, was succeeded by Mr Blair, who was later to work for the Education Department. As Inspector Blair he was instrumental in 1933 in closing both Coolup schools under the Consolidated Schools policy. From 1911 to 1924, the teacher’s post was held by Mrs Deeble. After 1933, the building was occupied by several families before becoming vacant. In 1950, the Premier, Ross McLarty, set a price of £40 on the Schoolhouse, provided it could be re-erected for community use. The Progress Association purchased the School and donated the material to the Coolup branch of the Country Women’s Association. The reconstruction was carried out in the present location by W. Holland and A. Collins. In 2018 some minor renovations were completed.

Statement of Significance
Cox House is a representative late-19th century property in the area.Cox House is associated with the development of the vine industry between 1900 and 1939.
Physical Description
Located on banks of Murray River, Cox House is a weatherboard and iron residence.
History
In 1895 J. N. Cox, who arrived from the Northwest of the State, took up land previously held under a grazing lease by the Herron family. He was appointed Forest Ranger and became a foundation member of the Coolup Farmers Association. In 1898 he married M. A. Fawcett, at which time Cox House was constructed. Cox became interested in vine growing, and between 1900 and 1907, 8 acres of grapes were planted, and these were taken to Pinjarra Park and Burnside to be made into wine. Between 1912 and 1922, 22 acres of sultanas were planted, and a further 6 acres of muscatels and 4 acres of currants. At the peak of production, some fourteen men and five girls were employed, with the record crop being 50 tonnes. From 1939 onwards, there was a sharp fall in prices for dried fruits and coupled with a shortage of labour caused the industry to cease at Cox House. It was subsequently run as a dairying and grazing concern by Cox’s sons. In 2019 Cox House is used as a private residence.

Statement of Significance
St Mary’s Church is significant as a simple rural church in brick and tile, with the outside little changed since construction in 1933. St Mary’s Church contributes to the Coolup community’s sense of history and of place. St Mary’s Church is a demonstration of a rural religious community’s achievement in the face of economic adversity. Although requiring future internal inspection, it is probable St Mary’s Church contains hand-carved church ornaments which may be highly significant.
Physical Description
Small red brick church set off the main road and decorated with gardens. Well-kept and maintained. The place has a jarrah door and furnishings and stained-glass windows.
History
The first monthly services were held at the Murray residence, transferring to East Coolup Hall in 1897. After 1900, the Hall was more definitely established as a church with the contribution of a small organ and reading desk, funded by the owners of Burnside. A Church Guild was founded in 1926, and its members included Mrs J. N. Cox (president), Mrs S. M. Studd, Mrs J. Kirkham, Mrs J. Mills, Mrs D. Sinclair, Mrs Ward (snr), and Miss Mary Cox (secretary). The architect was George Herbert Parry, who was responsible for many significant Anglican buildings. Much of the manual labour was carried out by local residents, organised by John Kirkham. The altar was a memorial to R. H. Newman, a prayer desk memorialised Mrs Mills, and a stain glass window was in memory of Richard Kirkham. Pews and an organ could not be purchased until the debt was cleared on the construction costs. Rev Canon William Rothwell Burns was responsible for the hand-carved church ornaments. He retired from the ministry in 1940. On 1 January 1933, St Mary’s Church was consecrated by Rev Cecil Wilson, Bishop of Bunbury.

Statement of Significance
Bibbulmun Track has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:At about 1000km from its northern terminus in Kalamunda to the southern terminus in Albany, it traverses unique forest, bushland and natural environments, travelling through the South West of WA which is a global biodiversity hotspot.ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCEImportance in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Western Australia’s history: The Bibbulmun Track, initially from Kalamunda to Northcliffe and later Walpole and then Albany has been a popular long distance walk since the 1970s.The Bibbulmun Track is significant for the long term involvement of the Western Australian prison system. Prison inmates were involved in the prefabrication of shelters and toilet facilities and the track construction of the 1990’s dedicated track, developing a relationship between the Department of Corrective Services and the Parks and Wildlife Service (DBCA) that continues today.Importance in demonstrating rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Western Australia’s heritage:The Bibbulmun Track is a 1000km dedicated walk trail from Kalamunda in the north to Albany in the south.The Bibbulmun Track traverses Western Australia's Darling Range and Southern Forests through Eucalypt bushland, granite outcrops and unique wetlands. South-West WA is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, and the Track enables its users to discover plants and wildlife found nowhere else.Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of Western Australia’s history:Its importance in demonstrating the characteristics of a broader class of places; South-West WA is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, and the Track enables its users to discover plants and wildlife found nowhere else.Any strong or special meaning it may have for any group or community because of social, cultural or spiritual associations; The Bibbulmun Track is highly valued by the members and volunteers of the Bibbulmun Track Foundation and the walkers who have completed part, or all, of the Track. It is valued by the many community and other groups and volunteers who ‘adopt’ and maintain sections of the track.It attracts walkers from across Australia and around the world. Walkers who have completed the full Track, either in stages or in one trip, are known as ‘end-to-enders’.Its importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics valued by any group or community; The Track traverses Western Australia's Darling Range and Southern Forests through Eucalypt bushland, granite outcrops and unique wetlands. South-West WA is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot, and the Track enables its users to discover plants and wildlife found nowhere else.Any special association it may have with the life or work of a person, group or organisation of importance in Western Australia’s history:The Bibbulmun Track is associated with the Bibbulmun Track Foundation which was established in 1997 as the Friends of Bibbulmun Track, to work with the now Parks and Wildlife Service (DBCA, formerly CALM) to maintain, manage and market the Bibbulmun Track.Its importance in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement:It has been a popular long distance walk track since the 1970s, initially from Kalamunda to Northcliffe, later to Walpole and then Albany.It is significant to the many West Australian, Australian and international hikers who walk the track and the committed volunteers who dedicate hours to its ongoing management and maintenance.It is significant for the valuable contribution to its development made by inmates of WA prisons who prefabricated shelters and toilet facilities as well as erecting them on site and construction of the track itself. This established an ongoing relationship between the Parks and Wildlife Service (DBCA) (formerly CALM) and the Department of Corrective Services (formerly Ministry for Justice).
Physical Description
The Bibbulmun Track covers 1000km from Kalamunda at its northern terminus to Albany in the south. It takes between six and eight weeks to complete an ‘end to end’ walk of the Track.There are 49 campsites along the Track located a day’s walk apart. In the northern portion of the Track (closer to Perth and in proximity to Brookton Highway) they are approximately 10km apart to accommodate higher usage. Further south, the range between 12 and 25km apart.Each campsite comprises a 3-sided shelter accommodating between 8 and 15 people, bush toilet, rainwater tank, picnic tables and tent sites. Some campsites include a fire pit.Many of the shelters and toilet buildings were prefabricated in a prison workshop as part of a joint venture between the former Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM, now Parks and Wildlife Service) and the former Ministry of Justice (now Department of Corrective Services). Some of the shelter designs have been adapted to provide additional protection from the colder and wetter conditions along the southern portion of the Track.The standard shelter and toilet designs at the Brookton campsite have been modified to allow access and use by people with mobility restrictions. The site is located 2.5km from Brookton Highway along a wheelchair accessible trailA converted fire watchman’s house is located at Mt Wells campsite. Boot cleaning stations are also located along the Track to avoid the spread of dieback (Phytophthora cinnamomi) carried by spores in the soil. The Bibbulmun Track takes walkers through a range of areas of natural beauty from Jarrah forests to cliff tops. The South West of Western Australia is known as the Southwest Botanical Province and is a biodiversity hotspot for conservation priority. The Track’s environmental habitat and species diversity can be divided into 3 eco-regions:Kalamunda – Balingup (Darling Range Jarrah/Marri Forest Region)Balingup – Northcliffe (Karri Forests Region)Northcliffe – Albany (South Coastal, Forest Hinterland and Wetlands Region).Walkers encounter an extensive variety of unique West Australian flora and fauna along the route.
History
Assessment: 2021Construction: 1979Alterations/additions: 1987/88, 1994 - 1998The Western Walking Club was founded in 1937 to promote bushwalking as a recreational pursuit.Geoff Schafer, founding member of the Perth Bushwalking Club, established in 1967, was disappointed with the bushwalking opportunities in WA and the lack of a long distance track similar to the 650km walk through the Victorian Alps. In July 1972 he approached the then Minister for Forest, HD Evans with an idea and the Minister, who liked what he heard, directed Geoff to the Forests Department with a green light for the proposed Perth to Albany walk track. Forests Department officers Peter Hewett, Wayne Schmidt and Ross Gobby were instrumental in progressing the idea.By September of 1972 a Lancelin to Albany (via the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge) track was proposed but was abandoned in favour of a Kalamunda to Northcliffe track and the name Bibbulmun Track was adopted.The Bibbulmun are a sub-group of the Noongar people who lived, and continue to live, in the south west of Western Australia. It was known that the Bibbulmun people walked long distances through the forest for ceremonial gatherings, and when a name was being sought for the proposed long distance walking trail through the south-west the name was suggested by Kirup forester Len Talbot. The Bibbulmun Track was officially opened in October 1979 as part of WA’s 150th year celebrations and was celebrated by Bibbulmun Walk ’79 – a 900km walk.In 1987/88 CALM undertook a significant overhaul of the Track including relocation of the northern portion of the Track between Kalamunda and Dwellingup to avoid bauxite mining works and extended the Track from Northcliffe to Walpole.The Track was incorporated into the Heritage Trail Network and the Waugal symbol was adopted as the trail marker. The use of the Waugal (soul, spirit or breath to the Bibbulmun people) was considered appropriate for a Track named in recognition of the indigenous people of the region.At this time the Track followed most gravel roads rather than bush tracks, there was limited signage, no shelters, few toilet facilities and no guaranteed water supply. Experienced walker Jesse Brampton prepared a detailed proposal for an upgrade of the Track and its extension to Albany which was accepted by CALM in 1993. The Building a Better Bibbulmun Track Project was established headed by Jim Sharp (CALM) and with Jesse Brampton as project coordinator. The first task was to determine a new alignment with the goals of minimising conflicts of interest, maximising the quality of the walking experience and to offer as safe an experience to as broad a range of walkers as possible.The proposed new alignment was adopted in February 1994 and an agreement was reached with the Ministry for Justice which allowed for the prefabrication of shelters and toilet facilities by prison inmates through Prison Industries and the erection of facilities and track construction by minimum security prisoners from Wooroloo Prison Farm. Later, crews from Karnet Prison Farm and Pardelup Prison Farm worked on the Track. This resulted in the establishment of prison work camps at Walpole and Badgingarra. In 1998 the Premier’s Award for Public Sector Management was awarded jointly to CALM and the Ministry for Justice for the combined efforts on the Bibbulmun Track. The in-kind contribution to the project by the Ministry for Justice was noted to exceed $1.5 million.The new Track attracted a wide variety of other groups to volunteer for campsite construction tasks.The first section of the new Track (Kalamunda to Brookton Hwy) opened in August 1995.There was no substantial government funding committed to the project at the time and resourcing relied on community and corporate sponsorships and donations. In 1996 a $1.38 million federal grant was awarded which included the obligation to complete the Track by 1 May 1998.The northern section was formally opened by WA Premier Richard Court on 14 August 1997. The 453km long track included 26 campsites.In 1997, the Friends of Bibbulmun Track was established as a not for profit organisation to support CALM in the management, marketing and maintenance of the Track. This organisation is now known as the Bibbulmun Track Foundation.The southern section of the Track was completed with additional funding received under the Federal Government’s Green Corps environmental traineeship scheme for work in the West Cape Howe National Park. The completed southern section, including the extension to Albany was opened by Hon Cheryl Edwards, Minister for the Environment on 13 September 1998.The cooperative relationship between Parks and Wildlife (DBCA) and the Department of Corrective Services continues.The Parks and Wildlife Service and the Bibbulmun Track Foundation continue to manage the Track which is divided in 147 maintenance sections varying in length from 5 to 10kms. Volunteers (individuals, families, friends, school groups or work mates) adopt a section of the Track and are trained to look after it.

Statement of Significance
Dwellingup Mill has been associated with the timber industry in the Dwellingup area for more than a century, since 1910. Dwellingup Mill is associated with the expansion of the railways east of Pinjarra. Dwellingup Mill is associated with the foundation of the Dwellingup townsite.
Physical Description
Timber mill complex comprising a mill and associated buildings.
History
A 1906 Government Board of Inquiry recommended opening up the forests of the Pinjarra scarp region to the timber industry. By 1908 the WAGR was having difficulties in accessing sleepers for the ever-expanding railway system as well as timber for construction of bridges, buildings and rolling-stock, so it was decided to develop two railway owned and operated mills which would come under the control of the Controller of Stores WAGR Midland workshops. In 1910, the Western Australian Government Railways opened No 1 Mill, Dwellingup. The mill supplied sawn sleepers, bridge timbers and scantlings for rail use. In the early part of the 1900s within the main mill site, a case mill (casing for packing fruit) was located, this later moved alongside the railway line across the tracks from Hotham Valley and operated until the mid-1950s. In October 1961 Hawker Siddeley purchased the mill, machinery, town and operating railway together with all State Saw Mills for £189,000 from the State Government. They continued operations until June 1963. Hawker Siddeley also bought Railway Mill No. 2, renamed Banksiadale after the Education Department set up a school there. In 1970 the mill was sold to Bunnings, and it temporarily closed in 1991. As of 2018, Dwellingup Sawmilling Pty Ltd operate the mill. The mill currently operates five days a week and employs 11 people.

Dwellingup Nursing Post is a typical weatherboard and iron building erected for health services and is a survivor the 1961 fire which destroyed the adjacent hospital. Dwellingup Nursing Post has been associated with the provision of medical services in the area from 1923 to the 1990s.
Physical Description
A single-storey weatherboard building with an iron roof and a brick chimney. The building was once adjacent to the Dwellingup hospital which was destroyed by fire in 1961, and is the only surviving building on the block.
History
A two-ward hospital was constructed in Dwellingup in 1923, at a cost of £1,400. A new ward was added in 1925, with further additions in 1949. Dwellingup Nursing Post was originally the nurses’ quarters at the hospital. During the 1961 fire, the hospital burnt down, though the quarters were saved. After the fire the quarters were converted into a nursing post, staffed by a part-time sister. This was a dramatic change from a 25-bed hospital with its own operating theatre and maternity facilities. The Nursing Post was closed during the 1990s. In 2010, funding was awarded to redevelop the place for community purposes, and the facility now provides spaces for several community groups and services. In 2016 a seniors village was developed on the land to the rear of the former nursing post.

Statement of Significance
Holyoake Swimming Hole has historic significance as a recreation site for the residents of the mill town.
Physical Description
A large well-like structure built in the bed of Holyoake Brook.
History
As there was nowhere to swim in Holyoake, it was decided to build a swimming pool. The first attempt, using a log to dam the creek resulted only in three feet of water and ‘two feet of slime on the bottom’.After seeing this, Tom Hayden arranged for some men from the mill to dam the water, and timber the pool on three sides. The pool was 2m (7’) deep, and about 23 m (25 yards long), with a platform built on the end of the dam.Money was found for the purchase of an Oregon diving board. It was 4 or 5 feet above the water, and when it opened, every resident at Holyoake came down. Among the older men in the community were a couple of good swimmers: Dick Romaro and Adrian Hood. They took on the task of teaching children to swim.

Statement of Significance
The Church of the Holy Innocents, Fairbridge House and the Old Fairbridgians Clubhouse have high cultural heritage significance in their own right. Fairbridge Village is an excellent example of the use of the Inter-War Old English architectural style. Fairbridge Village was the first of a number of similar institutions established by the Child Emigration Society and is the only remaining site where tangible evidence remains to illustrate how the institution was organised. Fairbridge Village is important for its associations with Kingsley and Ruby Fairbridge, Sir Herbert Baker, who designed the Church of the Holy Innocents, and for its associations with the architectural firm Powell, Cameron and Chisholm. Fairbridge Village has a high level of significance to members of the Old Fairbridgians' Association who continue an active involvement with the place.
Physical Description
The majority of buildings at Fairbridge Village are of timber frame construction with weatherboard cladding to the external walls. They were constructed with either sheoakshingles or corrugated iron roofs. Chimneys and fireplaces were generally face red brick.Internal wall linings were of vertical timber panelling to dado height with battened plasterboard above and to ceilings. Timber framed windows were mainly pairs of smallpaned casem*nts.The principal residences, Heath and Fairbridge House, were of masonry and pise construction to first floor level respectively with half timbering used for the upper storey.Generally the buildings can be described as being in the Inter-War Old English style. Thisstyle is distinguished by the use of the visual attributes of English rural architecture including half timbering, small-paned casem*nt windows, shingled roofs, tall chimneys and textured brickwork.Generally the two-storey buildings at Fairbridge Village reflect this style, while the singlestorey cottages were closer to the Western Australian vernacular architecture of the period.The main exceptions are the Old Fairbridgians Clubhouse and Church of the Holy Innocents. The Clubhouse is distinguished by the prominent Dutch gable on the frontelevation of the building. The church is unusual in its style and scale using an unusualcombination of elements including round arched openings, together with prominent steeply pitched shingled roofs.
History
Fairbridge Village is a former children’s home developed on the cottage accommodation model. Cottage homes for orphaned children were well known in Australia, and the concept had been utilised by the Salvation Army in Collie and by the Anglican Sisterhood at the Parkerville Home. However, Fairbridge Village brought the planning and building of cottage homes to a new level, one of self-supporting village, a model copied in other States. The following chronology summarises the key events in the construction of Fairbridge Village: - 1909 Kingsley Fairbridge founds Child Emigration Society in Oxford - 1912 Kingsley and Ruby Fairbridge open Fairbridge House, Blythewood - 1918 Establishment Children's Farm School Immigration Society of WA 1920 3,000 acres of Creaton Estate purchased for new farm school site - 1921 Five cottages, kitchen and store completed - 1922 Fairbridge House completed - 1922 Four classrooms constructed. - 1923 Eight more cottages completed - 1924 Kingsley Fairbridge dies - 1927 Seven more cottages; visit of Duke and duch*ess of York - 1928 Principal’s Residence constructed - 1932 Church of the Holy Innocents completed; golf course begun - 1933 Old Fairbridgians Clubhouse completed - 1934 Concrete weir constructed across river to provide a swimming hole - 1935 Arthur Scratton Memorial residential building completed; Domestic Science building constructed - 1938 Staff dining room, kitchen and quarters constructed. - 1948 Renovations on site begin - 1949 First British migrant children arrive after WWII - 1950 School buildings renovated - 1954 Renovations to eighteen cottages completed - 1961 Big Brother Movement began to utilise Fairbridge; plans for new swimming pool, oval and sports pavilion completed - 1964 Visit of Queen Mother - 1965 Barnardo children stop arriving in Australia - 1973 Government restricts immigration - 1981 Fairbridge Farm School closed - 1983 Alcoa purchase site and erect memorial over Fairbridge's grave - 1989 Fairbridge WA lease the site for 44 years on a peppercorn rent - 2019 Major conservation works to Fairbridge Chapel including removal of shingles and replacement with welsh slate; demolition of Lister Cottage

Physical Description
The Geogrup Lakes System also known as Willy’s Lake is a large open shallow wetland (max depth approx 1.5 metres) covering 1700ha containing native vegetation along its banks, riparian salt marches, streams and small islands situated in a scenic river valley.Albout 1700 ha, 50km to 65 km S of Perth, comprising the lower reaches of the Serpentine River & inc that portion of the river system that is composed of channels & open water bodies such as the Goegrup Lakes Chain, Yalbunberup Pool, Amarillo Pool & Guananup Pool & their surrounds.
History
Geogrup Lake was a traditional camping area where Aboriginal people constructed fish traps at the narrow ends of the creeks and engaged in traditional practices. It was also a place where European settlers and the Nyungah interacted. There was a particular violent incident involving the murder of an early settler George McKenzie who was speared near the lake. It has been suggested that this incident as well as other violent encounters ultimately prompted Governor Stirling’s decision to act at the ‘Massacre of Pinjarra’ on the 28th of October 1834.

Statement of Significance
Extremely important as bird habitats. The area provides the most important estuarine bird habitat in south west Western Australia. Seventy species of bird have been recorded there including sixteen migratory species protected by international migratory bird treaties. Thesamphire flats and wetlands of the area support a considerable diversity of invertebrate fauna. There are thirty seven species of fish that are supported by the estuary and are an important food source for birdlife, but also have significant importance for commercial andrecreational fishing. The vegetation along the banks is representative types that were once more extensive on the coastal plain.
Physical Description
The system is the largest estuarine ecosystem of the Swan Coastal plain.
History
The estuary has been a major source of food for both Aboriginal people and the early settlers. Aboriginal people gathered around the estuary tributaries at their mungahs for many years and during the latter half of the nineteenth century a commercial fishing industry was established.The inlet was also highly valued as a place of recreation for both local residents and holidaymakers. Concern regarding eutrophication saw the Dawesville Channel being constructed between the ocean and the estuary in an attempt to flush out the estuary.

Statement of Significance
Marrinup Townsite (ruins) has significance as the historical site of a mill town, which were once central to the economy of the Dwellingup area.
Physical Description
Remains of mill town
History
In 1902 a horse-drawn tramway was constructed from Pinjarra to serve a sawmill at Marrinup. This line operated for about two years. The Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) followed the alignment of this tramway when they constructed the line to Dwellingup which opened in 1910. Marrinup was the only community of any consequence between Pinjarra and Dwellingup. Millars operated a sizeable mill for varying periods between 1910 and 1930 on the north bank of Marrinup Brook. A number of weatherboard and corrugated iron houses were located at the townsite, along with a company general store. Some of the residences are still extant, having been relocated after the closing of the mill. After Millars erected the mill in 1910, there were soon 25 school-age children in the accompanying town. The Education Department proposed a ‘tent school’, but Millars supplied timber at cost price and a building was erected. Marrinup School was completed by May 1911, although it did not open until 12 November that year, with Mr G. Watson Brown as the first teacher. This building is now used as RSL Hall, Dwellingup. After 1930, the townsite appears to have been deserted. The site is currently managed by the Department of Biosecurity, Conservation and Attractions as a public camping ground (2019).

History
‘Originally the residence of the Murray family, originally from Scotland, who first settled in the area in the 1840s. Both David Smythe Murray and his eldest son, John Gray Murray, served as Resident Magistrate and George Murray. Daivd Symthe Murray dies in 1864, but Burnside remained with the Murray family for the next 50 years.’ ‘The Murray family bought up parts of the surrounding countryside and leased huge acreages from the Crown at a small annual rental. They grazed sheep and cattle on their large runs, under the charge of Ticket-of-Leave convicts. They also successfully bred horses. The Murray family were a well-known and prosperous pioneering family of Pinjarra, especially in the Coolup / Meelon locality where they donated much of their time and money to support the local community facilities and activities and where Burnside was the social focus of the community.’ ‘In the mid 1910’s Burnside was left in the hands of the two surviving Murray sisters and although still remained a formidable property, a downward spiral was starting. In the 1920’s with the declining influence and prosperity of the Murray family with the Murray sisters having left Western Australia, Burnside was placed in the hands of managers who failed to keep the property viable. The property was auctioned in 1927 to clear the mortgage and purchased by a Mrs Hargreaves. Much of the Furniture and other artifacts of the Murray family were sold off at this time.’

Burnside Homestead is a significant early residence in the district, and is associated with David Smythe Murray, the resident magistrate. Burnside Homestead contributes to an understanding of the pattern of European settlement in the Murray District and is associated with the development of the dairying and agricultural industry in the area.
Physical Description

History
David Smythe Murray arrived in Western Australia, on board the Hero, in November 1835. He married Elizabeth Davis in September 1836, and their first child, Annie, was born in July 1837. Further children were named John, Elizabeth, Euphemie, Cecilia, David and George. The family moved from Fremantle to Mandurah in 1846, where Murray took up the post of Magistrate, succeeding Captain Singleton. In 1860, Murray purchased in the name of his son, John Gray Murray, for 40 acres of land where Burnside Homestead now stands. For this he paid £20. The application stated a house was already under construction. This residence was constructed of wattle and daub, with a rush roof, and was later destroyed by fire. Bricks for a new residence, and all outbuildings, were burnt in a kiln on the property; the timber was pit-swan; and, bolts were used, rather than nails, for securing the rafters. The walls were whitewashed. The house had fourteen rooms and a large cellar beneath the kitchen. In the 20th century (sometime after 1939), the kitchen was demolished, and the rubble used to fill in the cellar. From the outset, Burnside Homestead was intended as a ‘gentleman’s residence’ rather than a rural homestead. Murray lived in the property until his death on 3 February 1864, aged 56. John Gray succeeded his father as Resident Magistrate and held the office until 1883. The holdings were increased to several thousand acres, and the residence stocked with massive Victorian furniture. The land was used for Hereford and Aberdeen Angus cattle, thoroughbred horses, and Border Leicester sheep, as well as pigs and goats. Peaco*cks and swans were introduced for aesthetic reasons, and a vineyard introduced, with the wine made and stored in the cellars beneath Burnside Homestead. Aboriginal women were employed for treading the grapes. In 1893, Burnside Homestead was described as follows: Burnside is a very pretty place. The house, with its wide verandah, trailing creepers, and trim flower garden, has a very inviting appearance. One would hardly think it was the end, or nearly the end, of an Australian summer to see the many coloured blooms and bright greens of the pretty little garden. Everything about the place proclaims neatness and order, and a fondness on the part of these who live there for the amenities of country life. The vineyard is being gradually increased. This year, I am told, it is to be added to consider- ably. ... I had the pleasure of tasting the matured wine produced from this vineyard, and found it very agreeable. The orange trees at Burnside are very fine and add further testimony, if any were needed, to the suitability of the district to the citrus tribe. However, tragedy struck the family in 1901: Intelligence was received in Perth yesterday of the death, at 8 o'clock on Monday night of Mr. David Murray, of Burnside, Pinjarrah, at the age of 57 years. The announcement occasioned the deepest regret. This is the third death that has occurred in the Murray family almost within a week, the sister and brother of the deceased, Miss Frances Murray and Mr. George William Murray having both succumbed to measles on August 25. In 1908, the extent of the Murrays’ holdings were listed as:• Burnside Homestead: 740 acres of freehold and 2,405½ acres of Government leasehold. • Mowerinup: 6,606 acres of freehold, situated midway between Rockingham and Pinjarra. It had a small cottage, with 40 acres of land being cleared and fenced. • Foderans: 2,050 acres of freehold, about four miles from Burnside Homestead. In 1920, Miss Lizzie Murray returned to Scotland, and Burnside Homestead fell into a state of disrepair. For some years it was under quarantine, due to an infestation of star thistle. In 1927, the place was auctioned to clear the mortgage on the property. At the clearing sale, all the furniture and effects which the Murrays had acquired were sold. Family and official papers were apparently burned. At the auction, Burnside Homestead was purchased by Mrs Hargreaves and she undertook restoration works. It appears, however, by 1939 the place had yet again fallen into a state of disrepair. It was described by its new owner, Mrs F. Cook: [We] looked down at the big sprawling house, the long line of stables and cow sheds, the high brick barn, the brick dairy, the blacksmith’s shop, with its spiral chimney and the house where the hams were smoked. Mingled with the blue green of the gum trees, great spreading lilacs, acacias, pines, cypresses, poplars and kurrajongs trees were massed around the house... Across the road in another paddock were the woolshed, sheep dip and penning yards... [Inside the homestead, two] floors had been eaten by white ants, water had leaked through several spots in the ceilings, guttering and down pipes were rusted. Mrs Cook noted it was a ‘typical colonial house’, built of handmade bricks, painted white with a shingled roof. French doors opened onto long verdandahs. The jarrah floorboards still showed their hand-sawn origins, and the kitchen retained a large bread oven. The wine cellar under the kitchen was still extant in 1939. Mrs Cook undertook major renovations, including new plumbing, replacement flooring, cupboards, sinks and basins. One bedroom was converted into a bathroom and the verandah boards replaced. All rooms were painted in ‘pale ivory’. In 2010, extensive renovation and conservation works were undertaken, particularly to fix works completed in the 1930s and 1940s which had seen the removal of load bearing walls, causing the roof to sag. Major repairs to the wine cellar underneath the kitchen were completed at the same time. In 2019 conservation works to the blacksmith’s building are expected.

The rail line reached North Dandalup in 1896, attracting new settlers and farmers to the area. Over the course of several decades from the 1910's, a number of residences were built by the Railway Department to accommodate railway workers. In 1924, the Stationmaster's house, called 'Station House', was built by Mr William Moir Doig (b. 1870, South Australia, d. 1946, Fremantle), and he relocated from Pinjarra to North Dandalup It has not yet been ascertained whether this is one of the extant properties. It is reported that a further residence was constructed in the 1950's, on Aitkins Road opposite the Dewar Road intersection (in the rail reserve). However, it appears that this structure has since been demolished.

Crockenberg's House is a representative fibro, weatherboard and iron residence demonstrating the simple construction of the post-war utility style. Crockenberg's House is associated with Ted Crockenberg, a significant figure in post-war North Dandalup.
Physical Description
Fibro, weatherboard and corrugated iron residence.
History
Frederick Herbert ('Ted') (d. 1970) Crockenberg and his wife Edith May ('Nell') (nee Nelson) (d. 1985) bought the vacant lot in 1948. Ted was third generation mill-worker, with his father and grandfather originally working at Banksiadale, and Ted for a time at Whittaker's Mill. During WWII, Ted ran the North Dandalup 'Alien's Camp' (where low risk Italians and Germans were sent after being processed at the Dwellingup POW camp). Nell worked as a nurse in Dwellingup. Ted would bring sick internees to the Dwellingup hospital, and while there, met his future wife. It is thought by some members of the Crockenberg family that a portion of the house was relocated from Whittaker's, although it is uncertain if this was the home the family inhabited at the Mill. In any event, Corckenberg House took three years to complete as building materials were in short supply post-war. The house/property itself was used for many commercial interests. From 1952, a car showroom ran from a large shed to the rear of the house. Ted sold new cars (Austin and Chrysler). Around 1957, Ted expanded and started a mechanical workshop, employing three different mechanics over the years until the workshop closed in 1969, prior to Ted's death in 1970. The property also acted as a transport depot, Ted carted wood, deliveries and agricultural products. Ted was also a 'Starting Price Bookmaker' or 'SP Bookie', an illicit bookmaker. He mainly operated from under the large tree outside of the North Dandalup Hotel (now Stud Country Tavern). He was arrested several times, and eventually ran the operation from his home. Ted ran for State Government, running for the seat of Murray as a Labour candidate during the 1960's. However, the seat was conservative, and he was unsuccessful. His daughter Cheryl Davenport, followed her father into politics, and was elected into the Upper House as the Labour member for the South Metropolitan electorate (1989-2001). After Nell's death in 1985, her son Malcolm Crockenberg took over the property and re-opened the workshop, operating an auto mechanics until 1991. The property was subdivided in 1991, with the house and main workshop remaining on one title. The current landowners, the Kunzels have owned the property since 1993.

North Dandalup Agricultural Hall was constructed c.1898 on the north corner of Church Street and Railway Avenue. After World War II, a local committee was formed to raise money to embark on a project to build North Dandalup Memorial Hall to replace the Agricultural Hall. There was a temporary setback when a storm blew down a portion of the brick walls while building was under way, on 22 June 1957 the hall was officially opened by the member for the district, Sir Ross McLarty. Fronting the South West Highway, Noth Dandalup Memorial Hall, is an imposing brick structure. A separate toilet block and power generator room was erected adjacent to the eastern side of the hall. Planning commenced in June 1987 to add a Bush Fire Station to the northern wall of the Hall. The plan also included the building of new toilet facilities. The extensions were opened on 3 October 1987. The original sash windows were changed for aluminium and were donated to Fairbridge for use in the upgrade of their buildings. In 1998, a patio was constructed to the rear of the Hall.

Goldmine Hill has the archeological potential to reveal information about late 19th century gold mining techniques. Goldmine Hill has the potential, if appropriately interpreted, to inform visitors about a key aspect of North Dandalup's and the State's history. Goldmine Hill is associated with prominent prospector, Leslie Rober Menzies.
Physical Description
Three Shafts (two vertical, one horizontal), in addition to a number of tunnels.
History
In 1869, more than twenty years before Bayley and Ford found gold at Coolgardie, onenewspaper excitedly reported on gold finds in the ‘Range near Pinjarra’.In October 1869, Christie and Norton wrote to the Colonial Secretary and claimed thereward for finding a goldfield ‘two miles east of Pollard’s farm at North Dandalup’. Aprospector inspected the alleged find and reported that six men were working the field atNorth Dandalup, and were sinking to a depth of three metres. The gold found gave them theimpression that nuggets would be located in the area.When no large finds had been made, interest in the goldfield died down, although Christmas1869 still saw four men continue to prospect.After the gold discoveries of the early 1890s, there was renewed interest in North Dandalup.In October 1895, Joseph King found quartz containing fine gold two miles southeast of theNorth Dandalup siding. King stated that the reef was 30 foot wide, and outcropped for aboutthree miles.King was associated with a mining agent, George Lovett, who took up two prospectingareas of 66 acres, along the line of the supposed reef. Lovett looked to England for thecapital needed to work the reef.Lovett was associated with Leslie Robert Menzies an American prospector, who learned hismining on the Sacramento fields, and reaped rewards in New Zealand. The town of Menzieswas named after his discoveries there. On the basis of his reputation, Menzies was arespected prospector, whose opinion was to be taken seriously.By March 1896, the Dandalup Gold Mining Syndicate had sunk a shaft to a depth of 30 foot.A meeting of shareholders was told that there was a large reef, and the gold promised to besufficiently rich to pay ‘handsome dividends’.The newspapers eagerly reported almost daily about the exciting finds at North Dandalup.Even so, some were beginning to express doubt about the project. Specimens on view atMenzies’ Perth office were said to be ‘too good for the Range’, and possibly brought from adistance. However, the newspapers brushed aside the sceptics by noting that Menzieshimself had vouched for the specimens and that this ‘should place the reality of thediscovery beyond question’.Increasing numbers of people took up ground in the vicinity and prospecting was ‘going on merrily along the range’. Several syndicates were formed to finance the prospecting. Sharesin the Dandalup Gold Mining Syndicate were hyped by the media, and claims of 500 percent increase in value were touted.Continuing daily reports on the exciting finds had an impact on Western Australians. Forthose who had missed out on the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie finds, this goldfield was theirchance to make their fortune. On Saturday 28 March 1896, more than 200 people left Perthby train for North Dandalup. It was noted that, although the majority looked to beexperienced miners, not a few were ‘amateur or picnicing [sic]’ prospectors.It was also possible to make a profit from the finds without being a miner. Some retailersadvertised gold pans as Dandalup specials, and the Exchange Hotel in Pinjarra wasrefurbished, with the landlord running twice-daily coaches between the pub and thegoldfield.By the end of March, Menzies claimed to be offering English investors a half share in thesyndicate for £20,000. At the time nineteen areas were being prospected and a restaurantwas erected near the Mount Lovett claim. A large general store was being constructedalong with a blacksmiths and, naturally, applications were made for hotel licenses.At the beginning of April, a reception was held for Lovett by the Mayor of Perth, whopresented him with a gold watch for his contribution in the Darling Ranges finds.On the 15 April 1896 the West Australian, up until then the keenest supporter of thegoldfield, admitted that there were now doubts as to whether payable gold could beuncovered, going so far as to speculate that the North Dandalup field may be a ‘duffer’. Thisdid not, however, seem to discourage potential prospectors from applying for licenses. Afew days later the Government Mining Inspector, Captain Fowler, finally visited NorthDandalup. His report took seemingly forever to come out. Finally in mid-May, Fowler’sreport was made public. On Saturday 22 May 1896 the North Dandalup Goldfield wasofficially proclaimed. A Warden’s Court was established and William Hugh Jones, later asolicitor in Perth, was appointed.Prospectors continued to seek for gold, and in early August, the West Australian reportedthat ‘the pioneers of North Dandalup are at last reaping their reward, and have thesatisfaction of seeing their much despised but consistent efforts the means of makingDandalup flourish into a goldfield second to few in the colony’.The most northerly claim was Hart’s, comprising a well-timbered shaft, with a managerexpecting to strike the reef ‘in another 10 feet’. Near this was the Lady Jane, which lookedone of the most promising looking claims of the group. Then came the principal mine, theMount Lovett, which had a tunnel, a main shaft and a monkey shaft. Other claims includedDaisy, Lilly Bagot, Lady Forrest, Kilminster, Aplin, Grants, and Mainwaring.A visitor who went to look at the Western Australian Eldorado in August would have stillfound a group of canvas tents. However, other buildings included Aplin’s ‘North Dandalup’store, where one could obtain everything ‘from a needle to an anchor’, as well as receiveaccommodation. Courtlang and Woodfield ran a butchers, while Marsh operated a shop andbakery. In addition there was a blacksmiths and stables. In late September, two hotel licenses were granted for the goldfield, one to Woodfield, andthe other to Aplin. These were named the North Dandalup Hotel and the Mount LovettHotel. Both premises were erected on the rise at the back of the camp. They were built ofwood and iron, and comprised about twelve rooms, including large dining rooms. Bothlicensees staged grand opening parties, where champagne was dispensed, withentertainment delivered by the genial hosts.Such was the enthusiasm for the future of the goldfield, that a sports day was held inOctober, with a special train laid on to bring spectators from Perth.This is nearly the last that anyone heard of the North Dandalup goldfield. By Novembermost of the men working there had vanished. The 1897 Mines Department Annual Reportcould only note: ‘After many vicissitudes and the expenditure of a great deal of money andlabour, no returns of any importance have been realised from the Dandalup goldfield’. Thegoldfield declaration was rescinded by the Government in 1898.The North Dandalup Hotel closed quickly after the miners had left, although the MountLovett attempted to struggle on. Curiously, after going through a number of owners andfailing to make money, the Mount Lovett Hotel burnt to the ground in January 1898.Early in May 1915, it was again rumoured that gold had been struck in North Dandalup. Agovernment geologist was sent and reported the find as being situated in Kronin Brook, justabove its junction with the North Dandalup River. The gold was to be found in the bed of thecreek for a 100m stretch. It was described as being thin and flat, with the majority of piecesbeing less that a centimetre, and most were mere specks.Even so, claims were still staked, with Gustus Luber and Edward Ernest Hart seeming tobelieve, against all the evidence that North Dandalup could provide payable gold. Whatbecame of these claims is unknown.

Statement of Significance
Oakley Brook Dam is associated with the railway line and station, and reflects the importance of rail transport in the history of Pinjarra. Oakley Brook Dam has historic significance as a unique part of a system to provide fresh water to Pinjarra.
Physical Description
Concrete dam wall across western facing scarp at the source of the Oakley Brook. Dam face is approximately 45m long, the dam itself is approximately 120m in length. The Department of Environment and Conservation maintains public conveniences and walk trails around the dam.
History
Oakley Brook Dam was built in the late 1930's after the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) sought an alternative fresh water supply for the steam engines passing through the Pinjarra train station. Water had previously been extracted from the Murray River from a tidal lock system (Murray River Weir and associated Railway Pumping Station). However, by 1928 it was determined the water from the river was too salty. The dam is now used for recreational purposes with the Department of Environment and Conservation maintaining walk trails, picnic area and public conveniences.

Values
Located on the banks of the Murray River, the townsite has aesthetic value.
The precinct contains a number of individual places of aesthetic significance such as the post office, which was designed in the Federation Arts and Crafts style.
The town centre represents the history of the development of the area dating from the c. 1850s.
The place has significance as a point of contact between Europeans and the local Aboriginal communities.
Physical Description
The precinct is bounded by George and Henry Streets, and Pinjarra and Williams Roads. The original precinct as per the planning study included: The Murray River, the town centre, the residential area adjacent to this, the railway yards and station, the main approaches to town, and Aboriginal sites within the town. The RA describes the place as centering on George Street and consisting of mainly commercial and public buildings as well as the railway station and yards and the town square and Edenvale complex. The buildings are primarily of brick construction. The only two storey buildings within this area are the Post Office and the Premier Hotel.
History
‘The years between 1850 and 1918 mark the creation of a town at the Pinjarra site. In 1850 convicts began to arrive in Western Australia, and in 1893 the first train ran from Perth to Pinjarra, in 1918 the impact of the First World War, socially and economically, was becoming clear, Gold discoveries in Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie during the early 1890s affected Pinjarra as well as the rest of the State. Government became more prosperous and thus better able to finance infrastructure which had been lacking. A police station, courthouse, school, post office, office for the Roads Board, and railway station as well as pubs, shops churches, the Mechanics’ Institute and the Masonic Temple, were constructed during these years, as were a number of large homes, including Edenvale, and small cottages and shops on town lots. The significance of the timber industry in the hills [also] began to emerge.’

Statement of Significance
Pinjarra Heritage Area has high aesthetic and historic significance as an area which contains a variety of buildings demonstrating the history and development of Pinjarra from the 19th Century to the present day.
Physical Description
Majority of structures are commercial buildings, though there are several former residences used for commercial or community purposes. The allotments east of George Street and including St John's Church and Premier Hotel, abut onto the Murray River. Those allotments west of George Street are a mix of old and new commercial structures with a large variety of design influence.
History
Early settlement of Murray/Pinjarra area properly commenced with the construction of a Barracks in 1836 (after the Battle/Massacre of Pinjarra). Though due to transportation problems, the townsite of Pinjarra cannot be said to be settled or created until 1850, with the arrival of convict labour. The extension of the rail network through Pinjarra in 1893 aided in settlement and economic attraction (i.e. the rise of the timber industry), though there was a pronounced negative impact on economic prosperity and growth from the advent of World War I. During 1850 to 1918 a police station, courthouse, school, post office, Roads Board Office, railway station, pubs/hotels, shops, churches, Mechanics Institute, Edenvale and Masonic Hall were constructed. During 1918-46, the local economy was focused on supplying rural produce to the metropolitan area and timber internationally. The period saw the construction of the Copper Kettle building, which now houses Dome, the McLarty Road school site, expansion of the railway station, and the siting of a WWII airfield. Development in Pinjarra was affected by the proclamation of the Mandurah townsite, diminished timber industry and railway use, and rise in the mining and refining of bauxite from 1946 onwards. Land development pressure from the early 2000s to the present has revitalised the local economy and new shopping complexes and services have been attracted to the townsite as a result of the population increase.

Statement of Significance
Cantwell Park contains some of the oldest oak and pine trees in the district.Cantwell Park has served as a popular recreation spot for the residents of Pinjarra for nearlya century.
Physical Description
Parkland situated on the western banks of Murray River, close to the bridge.
History
In 1914, the Roads Board was undertaking a Main Street beautification drive and the issueof the bridge reserve was examined. The land was used by the Roads Board Secretary as ahorse paddock and as an occasional rubbish tip by the townspeople.In 1919 Pinjarra School teacher, C. D. Evans, approached the Board requesting that theschool use a portion of the reserve for agricultural science purposes. The Roads Boardagreed. However, by the end of that year the land was no longer required as the school wasmoved to a new location with area available for agricultural science purposes.The new head teacher, A. R. Cantwell, helped form a Pinjarra Branch of the ReturnedServices Association and requested that the reserve be converted into a memorial park forthe commemoration of fallen soldiers. The Board agreed, funding additional plantings.The Board were soon after offered a ‘war trophy’, such as a German machine gun, field gunor trench mortar. A trench mortar was provided and placed in the park.School children levelled much of the land, dug out flower beds, planted trees and wateredthe gardens during the summer months.In 1923 a War Memorial Committee was formed and erected a stone cross in the centre ofthe reserve. It was made by Messrs Eales and Cohen (Subiaco) from Mahogany Creekgranite. It was unveiled by Governor Sir Francis Newdegate in July 1923. The war memorialwas later moved to its present location to the south of the Civic Centre, fronting PinjarraRoad.In 1927, after the accidental death of A. R. Cantwell, the RSL erected a set of memorialgates.A flagpole was erected in 1929.In 1972 the Park was first lit by electric lighting. There has been subsequent upgrading toinfrastructure undertaken in stages between 2005 and 2008.In 1998 Memorial Park was renamed Cantwell Park.In 2001 the Borrungar Artist Group completed the Totem Project artwork.Also in 2001, a 2.5 tonne cement sofa installed as part of the ‘Take Your Seat’ project.

History
Anthony Cornish was the partner of Nicol Paterson, who established Creaton Estate. At the termination of the partnership in 1866, Cornish briefly moved to Fremantle, but returned to Pinjarra within months. He erected a large home for his family on the banks of the Murray River in the Pinjarra townsite, which he named 'Hampstead'. After the death of Cornish's wife, Rebecca, in 1883 from measles, the family estate- which included two dwellings, the Port Mill and Freemason's Hotel in Fremantle, and Hampstead- was split amongst the remaining family. The place was sold to Rev. R.W. Alderson, before being purchased back by William Cornish in 1920. When the timber mills in Jarrahdale closed down because of the Depression, the small convent there also closed and relocated to Pinjarra in April 1930. Sisters Anthony, Gervada and Florentine came down with eight boarders, an Aboriginal girl called Emma and 'a dog called Fluff'. This small community took over the Old Schoolmaster's House and the nuns opened a primary school and commenced teaching music. In 1932, the nuns were given 500 pounds to purchase a bungalow and a small cottage in James Street, which was used as a convent and a two-roomed school. In 1935, a further donation of 4,000 pounds enabled the nuns to purchase the former Cornish property, a wooden school building was erected, and the church on Forrest Street was dismantled and re-erected on the corner of the property. In 1954, the place was fitted for electricity, and new classrooms were added the following year. Various other additions and alterations have taken place since that time to the present (2010), including re-roofing and new ceilings in the convent and additions to the school.

Statement of Significance
Edenvale is an unusual rural example of the Victorian Regency style of architecture. Theuse of the verandas of the building as breezeways is uncommon in a house of this period and contributes to Edenvale's aesthetic appeal. The symmetry and the use of architecturalelements: two bay windows with an ogee verandah, stucco window detailing and Frenchdoors, create a lively and interesting facade to the place.Edenvale is a landmark in extensive landscaped grounds and forms an entry statement toPinjarra.Edenvale is associated with the McLarty family - a prominent pioneering family in theMurray District and a prominent family in Western Australian politics for nearly 70 years.Edward McLarty held a seat in the Legislative Council for 22 years and his son, Sir RossMcLarty, born in Edenvale, held a seat in the Legislative Assembly and became Premier ofthe State.Edenvale is valued by the Pinjarra community because it depicts the past development ofPinjarra and has a close association with the political activities of the State through theMcLarty family.The social importance of Edenvale is demonstrated by the efforts made by the Pinjarracommunity to retain it in the late 1970s and early 1980s when the place was threatened withdemolition.Edenvale contributes to the community's sense of place by providing an historical link to thesettlement of the Murray District, and the subsequent development of the town. Edenvaleprovides a physical and social link with the past economic development and politicalimportance of Pinjarra.Appropriately interpreted, Edenvale can provide a resource residents and visitors tounderstand the history of the surrounding area.Edenvale has high social significance as the key tourist attraction in Pinjarra.
Physical Description
Edenvale is an 1888 homestead comprising a single-storey symmetrical plan form with acentral main doorway and entrance hall passing through the house to wide back verandah.Two projecting end bays at the front are accessible off the front verandah which spans thefull width of the house and follows the line of the projecting bay and overlooks a large frontgarden sloping down to George Street. One of the bays formed a guest bedroom, the othera large parlour or drawing room. The two main front rooms off the Hall were used as aDining Room and a Main Bedroom, which had French doors opening out onto the frontverandah.A Dressing Room was provided off the Main Bedroom at the northern side of the residence.Three small Bedrooms range along the back verandah. Two farm offices complete thenorth-western wing of the house, with external access only. A Breakfast Room and Pantryare provided along the southwest wing, leading off the Dining Room, with the Kitchenbeyond and forming the southern end of the back verandah. A cellar was constructed undera section of the back verandah.Fireplaces were provided to all rooms except the Guest Bedroom and the small office. A timber-framed addition along the south side of the southwest wing served as Laundry andwork areas.
History
Edenvale was constucted in 1888 by Edward McLarty, son of pioneer farmers John andMary McLarty, who arrived in WA in 1839 from Scotland.By 1888, Edward McLarty had six children, William Ernest, Amy, Edward Aubrey, Donald,Neil and Douglas, and the pressure of a large family required the building of a larger housethan Liveringa, their then residence. The new house, a few metres south-east of Liveringa,was called Edenvale, and incorporated one of Liveringa's sheds into its west wing.Subsequently, Liveringa was used for storage and additional accommodation as required.The building of the more substantial Edenvale reflected not only a growing family, but theincreasing wealth and influence of the McLarty family.The McLartys operated Pinjarra's first butcher shop from a small building situated betweenEdenvale and Liveringa. Edward was already runnng a store on the site well before 1873,since Constable Eli Wansbrough observed in his diary:[There] being no Govt. quarters here for us, we arrange with Mr E. McLarty tooccupy a small cottage adjoining his store, it contains four small rooms withverandah and as much garden ground as I like to cultivate... rent to be £15 peryear...[The cottage is] pleasantly situated in the middle of garden with a view of thechurch [and] the Murray bridge in front...In fact, the garden must have been well-developed by late 1873, since Wansbrough notedthat his landlord let him have ‘as much fruit from the garden round our cottage as we canuse’. The cottage which Wansbrough rented was probably located to the east of the store,and was most likely demolished in 1888 to make way for Edenvale.Retailing took place from a room at the west end of the store, which had a large cellarwhere items could be stored in cool, dry conditions. When Edenvale was constructed, it waslocated to the east of the store and, at some time, the intervening gap was bricked in to formanother room. This new room became a staff dining room and connected with the kitchen ofthe main house by means of a doorway. The other rooms were converted for use as a BakeHouse and servants’ quarters.The 1888 homestead comprises a single-storey symmetrical plan form with a central maindoorway and entrance hall passing through the house to wide back verandah. Twoprojecting end bays at the front are accessible off the front verandah which spans the fullwidth of the house and follows the line of the projecting bay and overlooks a large frontgarden sloping down to George Street. One of the bays formed a guest bedroom, the othera large parlour or drawing room. The two main front rooms off the Hall were used as aDining Room and a Main Bedroom, which had French doors opening out onto the frontverandah.A Dressing Room was provided off the Main Bedroom at the northern side of the residence.Three small Bedrooms range along the back verandah. Two farm offices complete thenorth-western wing of the house, with external access only. A Breakfast Room and Pantryare provided along the southwest wing, leading off the Dining Room, with the Kitchenbeyond and forming the southern end of the back verandah. A cellar was constructed undera section of the back verandah.Fireplaces were provided to all rooms except the Guest Bedroom and the small office. Atimber-framed addition along the southwest side of the northwest wing served as Laundryand work areas.As part of his business ventures, Edward McLarty ran a coach service from Perth toBusselton twice a week, during the years, 1886-93. Though there is no evidence, it hasbeen suggested that the coaches and horses were stabled at the Edenvale property. Theopening of the Perth-Pinjarra railway line, in 1893, saw the demise of the coach servicesand the sale of the coaches to the Goldfields. The McLartys operated Pinjarra's first butchershop from a small building situated between Edenvale and Liveringa.Gardens were either continued on the site from earlier occupation of Liveringa, or newgardens quickly established. It was noted in 1893:In the gardens of Mr. E. McLarty, Mrs. Alderson, and others, there are ‘all sortsand conditions’ of fruit trees and vines growing and bearing heavily.Active in local and, then, State politics, Edward McLarty became a member of the MurrayRoads Board, in 1877, and held this position for nearly 40 years, including four asChairman. During this period he served on various other boards: the Murray District Boardof Education, the Murray Farmers Association (of which he became President) and thePinjarra Common Lands Board. In 1894, Edward was elected to the Legislative Council, asthe member for South-West Province, a seat he held for 22 years.Edenvale appears to have been one of the main social centres in Pinjarra in the 1890s, andalong with many visitors, the large extended family would often have made the place busy.In 1894, Edward constructed the Premier Hotel.Soon after moving into Edenvale, the last of Edward and Jane McLarty’s children, DuncanRoss (known as Ross), was born. Ross followed Edward into politics, holding the seat ofMurray-Wellington (1930-62). During a distinguished political career he was leader of theWA Liberal Party (1946-57), State Premier and Treasurer (1947-53), and Leader of theOpposition (1953-57). He was knighted in 1953 for his services to the State. Sir Ross wasalso very active in community affairs and was, at different times, both Secretary andPresident of the RSL and Chairman of the Hospital Board. He was elected the inauguralPresident of the National Trust (WA) in 1959.Sir Ross continued to raise his family at Edenvale and the house has an unbrokenassociation with State political history from 1894 until 1962.Many Aborigines were employed at Edenvale, including a gardener who had beenimprisoned at Rottnest Island. One significant member of staff was Kitty Rose, an Aboriginalgirl who was taken on as a domestic helper when Sir Ross was a small boy. Kitty lived at Edenvale for the rest of her life and had her own sitting room off the back verandah. Kitty issaid to have entertained her friends in this room with her gramophone and, later, a wireless.At an unknown date, the verandah enclosures were removed.At unknown dates, a doorway has been inserted in the western wall of the west wing, thetimber shingle roof has been replaced and service rooms were added to the south-westernverandah.In 1981-82, there was general restoration and reconstruction of parts of the fabric. Repairswere extensive and applied to all elements of Edenvale.In the 1980s, rooms in the rear wing were converted for use as public toilets. This alsoentailed the demolition of a bathroom addition to the northeast corner of Edenvale. Oneroom in the rear wing was refurbished in the 1990s to create a display room for Sir RossMcLarty memorabilia.In 1987, the bread oven was demolished and there were alterations to the Kitchen toservice the Heritage Tearooms.There was further restoration and refurbishment of the principle rooms from 1988.In August 2009, the rear wing of Edenvale was badly damaged by fire. Reconstructiveconservation works were completed at the end of 2011. The reconstructed wing is now usedfor community meeting purposes. In 2013 the Edenvale Fire Restoration Project wasrecognised for excellence and awarded a State Heritage Award.

Statement of Significance
Liveringa demonstrates the principal characteristics of a late example of the Old ColonialGeorgian style of architecture in Western Australia.Liveringa is representative of 1860s farming accommodation. The building incorporates, inits fabric, upgrading of the dwelling in response to changing economic circ*mstances overtime.Liveringa has a close association with the McLarty family - a prominent pioneering family inthe Murray District and a prominent family in Western Australian politics for nearly 70 years.Liveringa is highly valued by the Pinjarra community for social and cultural reasons becauseit depicts the past development of Pinjarra and has a close association with the politicalactivities of the State through the McLarty family.
Physical Description
Constructed from local red brick but recently rendered. Building is essentially a Georgianrural house. Recently restored. Jarrah weatherboard addition - in keeping with originaltheme. Well, constructed from local bricks, approximately 20 ft in front of the house.
History
Edward McLarty, the second son of John and Mary Ann McLarty, married Mary JaneCampbell in March 1873, and made Liveringa, a house situated on the northern perimeterof Pinjarra, his home.When Pinjarra was surveyed in the mid-1860s, a number of local residents bought blocks asinvestments. Some of these were obtained by Thomas Forrester Bedingfeld, the DistrictMedical Officer and magistrate, and by Thomas Keen, a policeman. It was from these thatEdward obtained lots 1, 2, 3, 12, 13 and 14. Lot 14 was to be the site of Liveringa.The construction date of Liveringa, a single-storey farmhouse, is somewhat uncertain, butEdward McLarty’s marriage in March 1873 and store records suggest that he wasoccupying the residence by late 1873. However, it is thought that differences in buildingmaterials imply Liveringa was constructed in two stages, with the northern roomsconstructed as early as the 1860s.The first building, from the 1860s, comprised two rooms with a central passageway. Theseare the two rooms which face away from Henry Street and towards the centre of theEdenvale Complex.A later addition, probably by Edward McLarty in late 1873, provides a narrower centralpassageway off the Entrance Hall, and a further Bedroom, together with a Dining Room andKitchen.A verandah now surrounds the entire residence and modern bathroom and laundry facilitiesare included in the western verandah.Edward was a farmer who bred cattle, sheep and horses on land around Pinjarra. Hebought up land from other settlers until he owned substantial acreage. From theseproperties he supplied some of the best breeding stock in the State as well as timbershingles for the building industry in Perth and Fremantle.The name Liveringa was taken from the McLarty family holdings in the West Kimberleyregion. The word is of Aboriginal origin and relates to a spring located northwest ofLiveringa Station.There were many other buildings around Liveringa, including a large barn, stockyards,outbuildings, and a store which now forms a wing of Edenvale.In 1981-82 Liveringa was refurbished for use as a caretaker’s residence. Further work tookplace in the 1990s, including reroofing, painting and general repairs and upgrading of theservice rooms.Liveringa is currently occupied by local artists who showcase their works within the building.

Statement of Significance
Exchange Hotel includes the remnants of two Victorian Georgian style buildings (c. 1866).One of the original buildings appears to be substantially intact, and a remnant of the other building can be seen in a gable to the northeast.The surviving c.1866 building at Exchange Hotel is rare as part of the oldest remaining hotelin the Peel Region, and one of the oldest building in the Region.Exchange Hotel has high integrity, having operated continuously as a hotel since 1871 untilit closed in 2008.Exchange Hotel has a close association with the development and growth of Pinjarra.Exchange Hotel has social value as a former centre of community life in Pinjarra, and assuch is valued by the community.
Physical Description
Exchange Hotel is a single-storey interconnected complex, the earliest of which dates fromc.1866 and was originally constructed of rendered brick with a shingle roof. Variousalterations and additions have been made to the place since its construction.
History
Dr Thomas Forrester Bedingfeld was appointed Magistrate and Medical Officer to theMurray District in March 1864. Bedingfeld initially resided at Creaton Estate, thoughpurchased lots 85-89, located between George Street and the river, the area containing thefuture Exchange Hotel, in December 1865. Here he constructed a residence which laterbecame the core of the Exchange.James Rummer Greenacre had arrived in Western Australia in 1863 as a warder on theTartar, a convict ship. In 1870, he resigning from police duty, and was recorded as ‘anefficient and well conducted officer’.In 1870, Greenacre was granted a licence for the Queen’s Hotel near South Dandalup fromthe Cornish family. He boasted of twenty years of ‘London experience’ running hotels. By1871 he had purchased lots 85-89 in George Street from Dr Bedingfeld and openedExchange Hotel, transferring the licence from the Queen’s Hotel to his new premises. At thesame time, Dr Bedingfeld moved into the Queen’s Hotel as a residence. This property swapis said to have given rise to the name Exchange Hotel.The earliest known photograph of Exchange Hotel shows it to be of smooth renderedmasonry with shingle roofing. It was comprised of two sections, each rectangular in planand aligned parallel to the road, but the design of the roofs strongly suggests that the rearsection is an addition to link the two buildings which comprised the original residence.The front (south-east) corner of the forward section features arches to the south and eastwalls, creating an entry area, with a sign above the entry reading ‘Exchange Hotel: J. R.Greenacre’. The verandahs are covered in vines, indicating that the front section was wellestablishedby the time the photograph was taken. In 1876, the hotel was described ashaving a ‘large public room’, which could accommodate thirty diners.The Perth to Bunbury mail service started in early 1880, passing through Pinjarra. With loads of passengers now arriving, a large hotel was needed, and arrangements weremade to use the Exchange, which rapidly became the most significant hotel in the area.James Greenacre died in 1885. His wife Sarah lived until 1901, at which time she wassurvived by two children.In late 1884, the Exchange was offered for auction, and in February 1885 SamuelButterworth applied for a license for the place. The hotel was described as three bedrooms,two setting rooms and outbuildings. In 1888, Butterworth advertised the hotel as ‘anexcellent place to spend summer holidays.’ Southern Advertiser, 10 April 1888, p. 3The Perth-Pinjarra section of the railway opened in May 1893, and the Pinjarra-Bunburysection in the following August, bringing more visitorsExchange Hotel became the meeting place for a variety of groups and local sporting eventsincluding family picnics, cricket and horse racing. The grounds of the hotel were used by acircus run by J. B. Hayes in 1889.In 1893, Edward Reynolds took on the license and advertised that a ‘Hotel Bus’ would meetall trains stopping in Pinjarra, so that ‘passengers desiring refreshments’ could be taken tothe hotel and back free of charge. In addition, Reynolds noted that Pinjarra was a first-classhealth resort which offered excellent fishing potential.In 1894, Edward McLarty built a new hotel in Pinjarra, the ‘Premier’, closer to the railwaystation than the Exchange. By January 1895, the former landlord of the Exchange,Reynolds, had become the proprietor of the new venture. Adding to the attraction of a newhotel, Reynolds arranged a steam launch to run visitors to the estuaries.It is not clear what immediately happened to the Exchange after Reynolds left for its rival,but by January 1896, it was being run by Thomas Howe and advertised as ‘the prettiestwatering place in WA’, just ‘two and a half hours from Perth’ (Daily News, 25 January 1896,p. 1).By March 1896 the hotel was renovated and refurbished with Edmund Griffith taking overthe lease. It is probable that this work introduced an unpainted rectangular brick buildingwith gable roof to the front of the hotel. A skillion verandah ran the length of the front facadeand a gable entry feature off centre.In 1901 the Exchange Hotel was noted as having two sitting rooms and six bedrooms,exclusive of those occupied by the landlord. This is an increase on the three bedrooms in1885, and could be explained by the conversion of the old front bar into bedrooms after theconversion of a new front bar in 1896.In 1908, the hotel site was purchased by Henry Edward Laslett. He took out a £3000mortgage on the place in December 1909.G.H. Jackson took over management in 1919 and by April 1920 added the motel units tothe southwest of the hotel which included nine new bedrooms. The increasing popularity ofthe motor vehicle gave rise to a number of motel units throughout the state at this time.In February 1921, John ‘Jack’ Fell and his wife, May, took over management of the Hoteland remained through the 1920s. By this stage, three garages were erected on site.In 1925 the place was extended. Works included a new kitchen and servery, and expansionof the existing dining room. The new dining room would be 25ft 6in by 23ft, with the kitchenand servery adjacent, improving the working conditions for staff. All the new works were inbrick. The architect was A. E. Clarke, of Perth, and the builder was F. Gurr.New hotels, along with hotel refurbishments, were stopped in 1925 in response to the failedProhibition Referendum, but by 1926 hotel construction began in earnest. Fell applied tohave the hotel bedrooms connected to the electricity supply in 1927, but the scheme wasalready overloaded and he was told to wait until a larger generator could be installed in thetown.A photograph dated c.1928 shows Exchange Hotel with ‘Jack Fell’ stencilled across theentire corrugated iron roof.Photographs of the place in 1936 show the front section of the hotel much as it was in 1928,with two canvas awnings extended to provide additional shade on the verandah. The floorof the verandah is timber, set at ground level so that no steps are required to access it. Thelettering on the roof saying ‘Jack Fell’ is faded but still visible. There is one large chimneythree-quarters of the way along the roof ridge, towards the southern end. The brickwork isunpainted.Extensive flooding of the Murray River occurred regularly, and immense flood damage wascaused to the town during the winters of 1945 and 1955. A photograph of flood damage atthe Exchange Hotel, Pinjarra in 1945 shows aging brickwork under smooth-rendered walls.A 1952 inspection of the place noted it had seven single bedrooms, four double bedrooms,and six bedrooms with more than two beds. Five of these bedrooms, including two withmultiple beds, were used by staff, and another by the licensee. There were also two guestsitting rooms and one for the licensee, a lounge with a capacity of 24 persons, one bar, anda dining room seating 36 persons. The bar and lounge had been renovated the previousyear.In 1954, the Licensing Court demanded clearly separated toilet blocks for the public andguests. It was noted that the Exchange was aged and required extensive structural work. In1955, W. G. Bennett drew plans for alterations, including new men’s and women’s toilets,renovations of the bar and passages that accessed the toilets, and renovations to windowsand doors where the timber was failing. Further works were undertaken in 1956 to renovatethe bedrooms. The number of bedrooms by this time was about fifteen.In 1959 the place required urgent renovations, as the bar ceiling was sagging, and termitedamage in the timbers made areas unsafe, especially the front verandah. While theExchange was being maintained to a satisfactory standard, it was very old and not easilymanageable. Modern facilities would soon be required, including additional parking andmodernised facilities to serve customers. In 1960, this advice was reissued as a court order,with renewal of the liquor licence being dependent upon plans being submitted for majorworks.It was some time before the works ordered in 1960 were implemented. Plans wereresubmitted several times due to concerns about the proximity of a new beer garden to the bedroom wing. In November 1961, W.G. Bennett & Associates called for tenders for thework, but no suitable contractor was obtained until late 1962.The 1962 changes to the place involved demolition of the front portion of the hotel, wherethe bars were located, and replacement with a modern saloon, public bars, store and coolroom. New men’s public toilets were erected, and the guests’ sitting room was enlarged.Garages were demolished. A new beer garden was created between the new bars and thebedroom wing. Screening walls were created along the outer edge of the existing bedroomwing.A 1963 inspection report lists sixteen bedrooms, three sitting rooms (one for the licensee), alounge seating 60, two bars, and a dining room for 50. The dining room’s capacity was listedalready in 1962 as increased 36 to 50 persons.The Licensing Board continued to insist that the Hotel was ‘old and outdated’. A particularconcern was the kitchen and dining areas. Consequently, the north wall was cementrendered as the bricks were deteriorating due to their age. Various elements weredemolished including a substandard verandah, lean-to garage, and stud division wall in thekitchen. The ripple iron ceiling in the dining room was replaced, and external glazed doorsfrom the dining room to the north verandah were replaced as they had severely weathered.The following year it was noted that the unusual roof shapes, especially in the kitchen area,meant poor drainage and potential ongoing waterproofing problems.In 1983, a drive-through bottle shop was added to the place.In 1993, plans were prepared by Bruce Robinson and Associates for the installation of anew TAB agency in the southwest corner of the building, adjacent to the beer garden andterrace area. In 1994, the layout of the manager’s flat and nearby ablutions block werechanged and a rear courtyard created.In 2002, further additions were made to the bottle shop and there was an upgrade ofoutdoor areas.Exchange Hotel continued to operate as a hotel, providing both accommodation and apublic bar, until 2008, when the place closed.In 2012 the Shire of Murray purchased the Exchange Hotel and is currently undertaking afeasibility study into the future use of the building.

The overall form is restrained and well proportionedand combines functionality with a flourish of detailing. The projecting front portico isclassically inspired and the internal plasterwork detailing is in stylised low relief. The built-intimber furniture has been well designed and crafted.
History
In 1934, designs for Pinjarra Court House were prepared by the Public Works Departmentunder the direction of A.E (Paddy) Clare.Pinjarra Court House was constructed between the Post Office and the Police Station, onthe site once occupied by an earlier court house. In January 1935, the building contract wasawarded to E. Ward for £1327, and work commenced immediately.Pinjarra Court House was a rendered brick and tile building, with a formal portico,surmounted by a flag pole (since removed), opening to a passage way, with a Magistrate’sRoom on one side and a room for witnesses on the other. In the back three fifths of thebuilding was the Court Room, with the Bench on the south west of the room, the policeentrance on the south, and the public entrance on the north-east wall of the room, openinginto a waiting room. Separate male and female toilets were constructed at the rear ofPinjarra Court House. As was its usual practice, the PWD also designed the built-in furniturefor the Court Room, which was constructed largely in jarrah.On 7 June 1935, the official opening of Pinjarra Court House was reported in the localpaper:After years of waiting and agitation the town of Pinjarra is at last [in] possession of amagnificent building that is at once not only an adornment to the town, but one wellfitted to take pride of place in any town of much bigger size than Pinjarra. Thebeautiful building is a distinct credit to the Principal Architect and officers of thePublic Works Department, to the Supervisor (Mr C Angel) and the contractor andbuilder (Mr E Ward).In 1948 minor repairs and renovations were carried out on Pinjarra Court House.In 1955 septic tanks were installed to service the Police Station and Pinjarra Court House,resulting in the old brick earth closet at the very rear of the block being demolished and anadditional new brick water closet and urinal built behind the Court House.In 1959 a storeroom was built at the southern corner of the Court House.In 1972 the storeroom was removed and additions built onto the rear of the Court House.The additions consisted of a new Magistrate’s Room and a new storeroom. Both of theserooms could be accessed from a new verandah on their south-west. There were alsointernal modifications.In 1977 a toilet block was built on to the rear of the storeroom at the south of Pinjarra CourtHouse.In 1998 it was announced that Pinjarra Court House would close, with Mandurah CourtHouse taking over all functions. This announcement was unpopular with the localcommunity. Concerns were also raised were that the Court House serviced Dwellingup, andthat community would be disadvantaged if services were moved to Mandurah.After several public meetings it was agreed to keep Pinjarra Court House open for at leastanother year. However, in 2002, the Court House was again reviewed by the Ministry forJustice, and it was again announced that it would close.Despite efforts by the Shire and the local community, in January 2003, Pinjarra Court Houseceased to operate as a Magistrate’s Court and its functions were transferred to Mandurah.In 2005 the State Government contributed $200,000 towards refurbishment of the CourtHouse.In 2006, ownership of the place was transferred to the National Trust.In 2009, the Shire of Murray entered into a leasing arrangement over five years, with theoption of a further five years. In 2010 Ranger Services and the Community EmergencyServices Coordinator were based in the building.

Statement of Significance
Pinjarra Police Station is located on a site which has been utilised for policing purposes since 1852. The Station is representative of 1960's government architecture in the Late Twentieth Century Perth Regional style, and of late 1950's to early 1960's architecture more generally.
Physical Description
Late twentieth century Perth Regional style Police Station with low pitched roof, and a feature panel with cast aluminium letters.
History
The current site has been utilised for policing purposes since 1852 when the old barracks building (built in 1841) was closed and buildings were turned over to the police. Between 1852 and 1854 additions were built to accommodate a Magistrate, so that court sittings could be held and office work attended to. In 1868 a contract for additions and alterations to the court house and station was awarded to George Postans for £91. The works involved the upgrading of the station and the old cell block was converted into living quarters for the policeman and his family stationed there. In July 1888, the Pinjarra police stopped running the Royal Mail coach service and the police mail driver transferred away, after which time the police station 'became a much quieter place' and the police were left to attend to their more routine duties of law and order. By 1891, the Police Station and Court House were reported as being 'barely fit for human habitation' and a petition was circulated through the community. However it was not until 1897 that a new Police Station and Court House was built. The new Station consisted of an office, residence, two cells and exercise yard, replacing the original wattle and daub structure. In 1962 the current building replaced the 1897 Station. In 2003, perimeter security fencing was installed, and the following year the Court House was excised from the Police Station lot.

CWA Hall, Pinjarra has social significance for past and present members of the CWA in the area.
Physical Description
Brick and tile mid-20th century single-storey rectangular building (10.6m x 8.5m) (c.1950s).The building was probably constructed as a purpose-built CWA rest room, and has a centraldouble-door entrance leading to the Main Hall (6m x 10.6m).The rear of the building contains a kitchen (4.6m x 2.5m), storage area (2.5m x 2.5m) andWCs & washroom (3m x 2.5), with a rear exit. The interior is devoid of decorative treatment,except for a brick skirting in the Main Hall and an unpainted dado rail.
History
The Pinjarra branch of the CWA formed in 1925, with Mrs D. Patterson as president andMrs J. N. Cox as secretary. It was initially based in the Old School House on Henry Street.At the opening of the CWA ‘Rest Room’ at the Old School in March 1926, it was reported:All present were post enthusiastic over the actual materialisation of the rest room,which promises to be such a comfort and convenience to members. Daintyafternoon tea was served, and a guessing competition added to the afternoon’senjoyment. Parcels were also received containing contributions towards the fitting upof the room which has been furnished entirely by the energetic efforts of members.In 1939, the CWA was granted a block of land on George Street which had previously beenreserved for the Independent Order of Good Templars. However, the Templars hadundertaken no development and all the trustees were deceased.By March 1940, plans had been drawn up for a rest room on the George Street block, andthe Pinjarra CWA agreed to go ahead with the project. However, although £161 had beenraised for the building, in July 1940 construction was postponed indefinitely, and the moneyused to purchase war savings certificates.As a consequence, the Lands Department agreed that the George Street block of landwould be retained for use by the CWA until after the War.Although the exact date of construction of the George Street hall has not been established,it seems likely from the history of the place and the architectural style that it was constructedin the early to mid-1950s.The Pinjarra Branch closed in 2002, and use of the building was taken up by the PinjarraAlliance Church. The Church ceased use of the building in 2009.

History
Anthony Cornish was the partner of Nicol Paterson, who established CreatonEstate. At the termination of the partnership in 1866, Cornish briefly moved toFremantle, but returned to Pinjarra within months.He erected a large home for his family on the banks of the Murray River in thePinjarra townsite, which he named ‘Hampstead’.After the death of Cornish’s wife, Rebecca, in 1883 from measles the family estate– which included two dwellings, the Port Mill and Freemason’s Hotel in Fremantle,and Hampstead – was split amongst the remaining family.The place was sold to Rev R. W. Alderson, before being purchased back byWilliam Cornish in 1920.When the timber mills in Jarrahdale closed because of the Depression, the smallconvent there also closed and relocated to Pinjarra in April 1930. Sisters Anthony,Gervada and Florentine came down with eight boarders, an Aboriginal girl calledEmma and ‘a dog called Fluff’.This small community took over the Old Schoolmaster’s House and the nunsopened a primary school and commenced teaching music. In 1932, the nuns weregiven £500 to purchase a bungalow and small cottage in James Street, used asa convent and a two-roomed school.In 1935, a further donation of £4,000 enabled the nuns to purchase the formerCornish property, a wooden school building was erected, and the church onForrest Street was dismantled and re-erected on the corner of the property.In 1954, the place was fitted for electricity, and new classrooms were added thefollowing year.Various other additions and alterations have taken place since that time to thepresent (2019), including re-roofing and new ceilings in the convent and additionsto the school.

Statement of Significance
Excellent example of Victorian architecture in Western Australia.The internal woodwork and window sashes were completed by convicts in Fremantle.The churchyard contains the remains of many early pioneers and prominent families.(Burials date from 1840s - 1870s.)
Physical Description
The Church was built in the rustic style of Victorian Britain. Constructed of local red brick,the original shingled roof has been replaced by clay tiles. Excellent jarrah furnishings andstained glass windows. Wooden bell tower stands in the churchyard dated to 1848. Thegraveyard surrounds the church and the site is fronted by an imposing red brick wall andblack iron entry gates (donated by the McLarty family).
History
The Government made the first allocation of land in the area bounded by James Street andthe Murray River in 1840 for a church site. However, the first official Sunday service in theregion took place in February 1842 with a visit by Archdeacon John Wollaston. He wrote:I held service in a barn where the Dandalup flows into the Murray. There weretwenty-one present and it was the first service ever taken by a clergyman on aSunday, as [George] King’s monthly visits were on a weekday.In 1843 the first Anglican Church in Pinjarra was constructed near the Murray River andclose to the site of the present church. It is likely that the building was a wattle and daubchurch with a thatched roof. The church was consecrated in the name of St. John in 1848by Bishop Augustus Short. At the time it was noted that: ‘Nothing could exceed the highlyrespectable appearance of this little church and congregation’. A few years later, the originalSt. John’s was described as being a ‘neat little church’ and a ‘valuable acquisition’ for thelocality.However, in 1860 John McLarty noted that the Church was ‘going to ruins’ because it was‘being so seldom used’.In 1861 the earlier building was replaced by the present St. John’s Church, built by AnthonyCornish for £263.Convicts from Fremantle made the window sashes and some of the interior woodwork.The porch was added in 1879.

Pinjarra Bathing Sheds (site) is associated with a popular recreational location in Pinjarra.
Physical Description
Site Only
History
In 1915 the Murray Roads Board resolved that the swimming area should be reserved for the sole use of ladies at certain times of the week, and by-laws were written up to that effect. Both shed and toilet were probably destroyed in the 1926 flood, since in early 1927 the Road Board had agreed to erect a new 10' x 10' galvanised iron shed for the bathing public. In May 1929 the "South Western Advertiser" pointed out that the Bathing Shed was a popular location for lovers. It is currently unknown when the Bathing Shed was removed.

Heritage Rose Garden is the only heritage rose garden in the southwest region of Western Australia.
Physical Description
Heritage Rose garden comprises 300 different heritage roses and more than 600 rose bushes. It contains the oldest known variety of rose which is said to date from 3000BC. The memorial section within the Rose Garden was created in 1995 as a tribute to soldiers that risked and lost their lives fighting for their country. A plaque in the garden reads: "Heritage Rose GardenHeritage Roses, WAOfficially opened Nov. 4th 1984BySir Charles Court AK, KCMG, OBE.Created by N. FrostBy the grace of god."
History
The garden was planted in the early 1980s by retired army officer Major Noel Frost. Frost sent requests all around Australia for heritage roses. After Frost's death in 1987 the heritage rose garden was nearly lost; however a group of volunteers formed the Friends of the Heritage Rose Garden Group to keep the garden going.The garden was extended in the early 1990s by caretaker Ron Ward as a war memorial for local fallen and former soldiers of WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Alister Clark roses were used for the memorial garden.Lots 201, 202 and 206 Henry Street were purchased by the Shire from the Anglican Church in 1992. Rare roses preserved in the garden include: Peace 1902, Hugo Roller 1907, Molly Sharman-Crawford 1908, Lady Edna (HT, 1981 bred by Noel Frost).

History
In 1848, a small school building was erected just south of the McLarty home on Creaton Estate. The school was probably on land John McLarty was leasing from Francis Singleton. Singleton has requested a school as early as 1840, and was told that the Government would donate 20 pounds towards its construction. However, there were only four children of shool age in the vicinity, so the idea was shelved. At the new school, John Fairburn was appointed teacher on a small government salary with parents supplementing his wages. On opening the school had fourteen children attending but by April 1850 the numbers dropped below twelve and the government withdrew its subsidy. Without a salaried teacher, the school closed. Various efforts were made to organise teaching between 1850 and 1860, in various locations, but none seems to have lasted any length of time. In January 1860, John McLarty proposed using the Church (constructed in 1845) as a school, since 'The Church (which is going to ruins being so seldom used) requires repairing. I do not wish to see it fall to the ground as I paid a good deal of money towards the building and repairing it since'. McLarty's suggestion was not adopted, and by September 1860 Daniel Keen Condon, the newly appointed schoolteacher, opened a school in Pinjarra in a little wattle and daub house located near the original church. It also appears the accomodation was provided for Congdon. The School building did not last long, being destroyed in the 1862 flood. The police reported at the time "The Murray schoolhouse is a complete wreck, not one inch therof is standing". A new school was constructed on higher ground west of the newly-built St John's Church (constructed 1861). In 1871, a well was requested for the school, but the General Board said that one was not required as water could be obtained from the well at the police station. The matter was again raised in 1881 and this time permission was granted. The well was constructed by John McLarty (jnr) for 42 pounds, and a fence was erected around it. In 1887, the school requested a verandah, since "In winter any children arriving at the school before the time for opening the school are obliged to stand out in the rain which is not conducive to health". It seems that either a verandah was added to the building or a shed was erected for shelter. By the early 1890's the old school was becoming expensive to repair and was too small. The older section was in poor condition and in need of replacement. In 1896, teacher's quarters were built facing the church, and a contract was let to R. Green for the erection of a new school for 879 pounds, 16 shillings and 10 pence.This building, to the design of Government Architect George Temple Poole, consisted of two rooms, one of which was quite large, cloarooms for boys and girls, and a small manual training room. In 1921, a contract was let for the erection of a new school at the southern end of Pinjarra. The building comprised of three classrooms with provision for additional rooms. After the new school opened, the old school remained closed and unused. In 1924 the Pinjarra Roads Board took control of the Old School, leasing it from the Education Department. The building was used for various purposes, including accommodation for staff emplyed on road construction, meetings and as a venue for community groups. The Roads Board bought the School in 1933. A strong room was built into the Old School and the Pinjarra Roads Board accupied it as offices from 1935. It is also likely that one room was used as a Court House. When the new Civic Centre opened in 1964, the Anglican Church bought the Old School for use as a Parish Centre. it remained used as such until the 1990's when Murray Shire purchased it back from them and adapted it for use as a community centre. In 2010 it was occupied by a Quilter's Groups and the Teacher's Quarters is used as a residence.

Statement of Significance
Old Barracks (site) is associated with the earliest phase of European occupation of Pinjarra. It was a direct consequence of the Battle of Pinjarra.
Physical Description
Probably wattle and daub construction, with thatched roof (of river reeds) and rammed earth floor. Reportedly featured glazed windows. One main barracks building with smaller sheds and lean-tos; stables and perimeter fencing.
History
The Barracks were erected around 1841. A military post had been set up at Pinjarra in 1836 near the site of the Battle of Pinjarra, with Thomas Peel fearing further attacks from the local Aboriginals. This permanent military station had a Corporal and 6 men. Lt Henry William Bunbury was posted as the Officer in Charge. Bunbury was an outspoken man, prone to embarrassing his superiors, he surmised that he'd been posted to Pinjarra to be kept out of the way. There were only two settlers in the vicinity at the time. The Barracks was closed in 1852 and the buildings turned over to the police. After renovation, the buildings were used to house policemen stationed at Pinjarra.

Statement of Significance
Battle of Pinjarra Memorial Area is part of the site where Bindjareb people were killed byEuropean colonists on 28 October 1834, and is of exceptional significance, to both the Nyungar community and the wider community, as an important part of contact history.Battle of Pinjarra Memorial Area has associations with important Nyungar leaders, such asGcalyut, a prominent resistance leader of the Bilyidar Bindjareb Nyungars, and Nunar, asenior man of the Bindjareb Nyungars, and others.Battle of Pinjarra Memorial Area has associations with Governor James Stirling, J. S. Roe,Thomas Peel, and Captain Ellis.
Physical Description
Battle of Pinjarra Memorial Area is a memorial site comprising an area of vacant land with anumber of large trees and natural bush on the west bank of the Murray River, includingPolly Island, and a monument commemorating the massacre.
History
In April 1834, a group of Bindjareb Nyungars, led by Gcalyut, raided Shenton’s Mill in SouthPerth. Captain Ellis and a party of the 21st Regiment eventually caught Gcalyut and a fewothers. They were taken to Perth and publicly flogged, Gcalyut receiving 60 lashes.In July 1834, Edward Barron, a retired army Sergeant Major, journeyed to Mandurah to buya mare from Thomas Peel’s, only to discover the horse had escaped into the bush. The nextmorning when Monang and Unia, Gcalyut’s sons, came into Peel’s settlement, Barronasked about the horse.The Nyungars indicated that they knew where the horse might be and Barron asked if thepair would accompany him in a search. A white servant, 19-year-old Hugh Nesbit, alsooffered his services.After travelling about a mile towards Lake Goegrup, a number of Nyungars, includingGcalyut, joined the small search party. By the time they had made it to the lake, there wereover twenty Nyungars in attendance.Later Barron reported that he noticed the sound of spears being placed into throwing sticksand three spears hit Nesbit and struck him to the ground. Barron also took a spear in hiskidneys but was able to retreat back to Peel’s settlement.The killing of Nesbit prompted fear and anger throughout the colony. Captain Ellis and aparty of men were sent to the Murray area to hunt for Nesbit’s murderers. Joined by soldiersfrom the barracks at Mandurah, the group searched for a month. With the exception of twoold women, no Bindjareb Nyungars were found.After Stirling’s return to the colony from England in August, Peel lobbied for increasedmilitary protection in the Pinjarra District. On 25 October, the Perth Gazette published ashort paragraph stating that Stirling’s ‘Exploring Party’ had departed on a ten dayexpedition.On 25 October, James Stirling and John Septimus Roe rode out of Perth, meeting up withvarious persons on their way to the Pinjarra District. By 27 October, their party numbered 25 people.The party headed east from Peel’s settlement on 27 October, along the north bank of thePeel Estuary and within the hour across the Serpentine and Murray Rivers towards Pinjarra.Their camp at ‘Jim-Jam’ was on the southern bank of the Murray River, just upstream fromwhere Ravenswood Bridge now stands. They had been informed that a sizeable band ofNyungars were camped on the river near the present site of Pinjarra, and they made campin striking distance of this location.On 28 October, Stirling sent Ellis, Norcott and three of his troopers across the river, aroundto the west of the camp, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were the tribe whospeared Nesbit and Barron. Ellis recognized several of them to have been present atNesbit’s murder.In the meantime, Stirling positioned the rest of the party out of sight around the camp. Roewas sent to guard the ford, while Stirling and the remainder of the party took up strategicpositions on the eastern bank of the river.An eyewitness account states that Ellis’ party initiated the attack against the retreatingNyungars, and that the Aborigines were unprepared for battle. However, Stirling’s accountsuggests that he acted in self-defence.As the Nyungars attempted to slide down into the river, the parties on the eastern bankopened fire. Survivors scattered into the bush and were chased by Stirling’s horseman: thefiring continuing for upwards of an hour.The Europeans sustained two injuries. Corporal Heffron was wounded in the arm by aspear, and Ellis received concussion from either a spear blow or a fall from his horse. Ellisstayed in a coma for two weeks and died of his injuries on 14 November.The number of Nyungars killed has been much contested. Stirling’s official report to Britainstated that fifteen Nyungar men were killed in the exchange. Roe estimated that betweenfifteen and twenty had died, while an eyewitness put the figure at more than thirty.In June 1985, through research conducted by the Western Australian Museum, the site ofthe ‘Battle of Pinjarra’ was registered with the Western Australian Aboriginal SitesDepartment.In 1991, on Back to Pinjarra Day, the first remembrance ceremony for the PinjarraMassacre was held at the Memorial Area, initiated by Theo Kearing and his wife, Gloria.

Statement of Significance
Pinjarra Traffic Bridge has historic significance as the last of several attempts, since 1840,to provide a crossing for traffic across the Murray.
Physical Description
Timber bridge, traditional wood construction. 16 spans, with a length of 96.7m.
History
The history of the bridge over the Murray River has not been a very successful one. Thecurrent bridge, completed in 1954, is the fifth, and the longest lasting.The first attempt was in 1840, but the structure was washed away by the flooding river. Thesecond try was successful and the bridge was completed in 1842, after a delay throughshortage of funds and the need to reinforce the stone piers later in the year.In 1847 the river flooded again and this bridge was washed away. In 1853, work began onthe third bridge. The 1862 flood extensively damaged it, but it was repaired. The 1895 floodundermined the bridge piles, and a decision was made to replace it with a fourth bridge in1897.The bridge was replaced by the present one in 1954, which is built on land resumed from StJohn’s Churchyard.The current traffic bridge was upgraded to its current form due to Sir Ross McLarty’s effortsduring his Premiership.In 1974, the bridge was reinforced with a concrete overlay.

Statement of Significance
Railway Pump House is associated with the railway line and station, and reflects the importance of rail transport in the history of Pinjarra.Railway Pump House has historic significance as a unique part of a system to provide fresh water to Pinjarra
Physical Description
Concrete revetment and foundation works measuring 4.5m in width.
History
The Railway Pump House was built in conjunction with the Murray River Weir. The weir was constructed in 1895 to stop the encroachment of salt water during summer. A dependable supply of fresh water was required by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) for steam locomotives stopping at the new Pinjarra railway station. Town supply of fresh drinking water was a secondary concern. By the late 1920s WAGR determined the water from the river was too salty and proposed a dam on Oakley Brook on the Scarp. Oakley Brook dam was constructed in the late 1930s, rendering the pumping station redundant.The pump house is located half-way up the eastern bank of the river to avoid most floodwater. Located any higher up the bank and a larger pump and motor would have been required to extract water from the river.

Statement of Significance
Paterson's Cottage is a fine example of an early residence constructed in Flemish bond-style brickwork. It is one of the oldest houses in Murray which has been continuously occupied. Paterson's Cottage is associated with significant Western Australian poet and novelist, Kenneth McKenzie.
Physical Description
The colonial cottage is constructed from local brick (from clay dug from the riverbank) with sandstone banding around the doors and windows. It has an iron roof and a rendered chimney. Set on the banks of the Murray River. The house was originally a four-roomed cottage constructed in the Flemish bond style.
History
Homestead was originally used for tenants on Creaton Estate, then used as a dwelling for the Paterson family. The place was constructed between 1845 and 1860 by Anthony Cornish when he and Nicol Paterson were partners and joint owners of Creaton Estate. The cottage was originally a four-roomed residence with a verandah all round, built as a farm labourer's home. It was constructed in the then-popular Flemish bond style, with bricks made from clay dug on the property and fired in a kiln zt the end of Paterson Road. The kitchen was originally a seperate building, but by the 1920's it had been roughly attached to the main house. Kenneth Mackenzie was the grandson of George Paterson, a member of Alexander Forrest's Kimberley expedition. Hs mother, after her divorce from Kenneth's father, moved the "The Cottage" in 1922. Mackenzie loved the surrounding bushland and showed early promise as a musician. After attending the school at Pinjarra, he enroled at Guildford Grammar School and in 1930, Muresk Agricultural College where he disliked the coursework but wrote 'The Young Desire It' (1937), with scenes reminiscent of his experiences at Guildford Grammar. he studied arts/law at the University of Western Australia for a short time. After journalistic work for the West Australian, Mackenzie left Perth in December 1933 for Melbourne. He moved to Sydney, on the advice of Norman Lindsay. In 1934 he married art teacher Kathleen Bartlett and they had two children, Elizabeth and Hugh. Mackenzie worked in radio and as a journalist with 'Smith's Weekly' and 'ABC Weekly', before being drafted into the army in 1942. He served as an orderly room corporal in Cowra, overseeing captives in a prisoner of war camp, and later spent time in Concord army hospital. mackenzie witnessed the mass outbreak of Japanese prisoners from Cowra - written about in his novel 'Dead Men Rising'. Mackenzie mentions the large camphor laurel tree in his novel, 'The Young Desire It'.

Statement of Significance
Pinjarra War Memorial commemorates the fallen from the district.Pinjarra War Memorial has high aesthetic values as a simple memorial located outside theShire Offices.Pinjarra War Memorial is associated with the well-known architectural firm of Eales &Cohen. Pinjarra War Memorial is unusual having a modified Celtic cross, with a square in thecentre.
Physical Description
Pinjarra War Memorial is situated outside the Shire Offices and comprises a rough hewngranite obelisk surmounted by a Celtic cross, the whole mounted on an octagonal base.The Celtic cross is unusual, since it has a square at the centre of the cross-piece and lacksthe typical circle.On the front of the octagon is inscribed ‘Erected In Honour Of Our Soldiers Who Fell In TheGreat War 1914 to 1918’. On the side directly to the rear is inscribed ‘Greater Love Hath NoMan, Patterson P. P., Tyler L. C., Campbell F.’ The other six sides of the base are inscribedwith 36 names.
History
Twenty-five men from Pinjarra fell during World War I, and in the early 1920s the form of awar memorial was decided by a memorial committee, under the auspices of the RoadBoard.An ideal site for the Memorial was found on land near the Pinjarra Bridge, abutting the mainroad at the approach to the bridge from the town. This block was improved by digging andtree planting by local school children under the direction of their headmaster, A. R. Cantwell,who was also president of the memorial committee.Eales & Cohen were appointed architects for the project, and the construction was carriedout by Baker and Mathews. Eales & Cohen are known to have designed various other warmemorials in the interwar period, and each of these memorials is distinctive and there is noevidence of a common design style in the firm’s commemorative work.It was noted at the time of unveiling:The final choice of a Celtic cross was a happy one, because the essential features ofsuch a monument are strength, simplicity, and ruggedness – attributes of theAustralian soldier.Mahogany Creek granite was used for the cross, the construction of which costapproximately £330. The die stone weighed 3½ tons, and was cut out of a block of 5 tons.The whole monument weighed 12 tons, and the top was 16 ft (4.9 m) from the ground.The memorial was unveiled in July 1923 by Governor Sir Francis Newdegate in thepresence of a large number of people. Ross McLarty, then secretary of the Road Board,was responsible for arranging the ceremony.The vice-regal party was welcomed at the railway station by W. E. C. McLarty, chairman ofthe Road Board, and a guard of honour was provided by Boy Scouts. Luncheon wasprovided at the Exchange Hotel.Others present at the unveiling ceremony included Lady Newdegate, Major General SirTalbot Hobbs, Canon Burns (who officiated in the absence of Archbishop Riley), the State president of the RSL, and a number of politicians.A devotional service was conducted by Canon Burns, with hymns sung by a choir, and theLast Post was sounded. After the Memorial had been unveiled, wreaths were placed at thebase by relatives of the men whose names were inscribed on the stone.In 1964 the Memorial was moved to its present site outside the Shire Offices.

Masonic Hall is a fine Federation Gothic building with a particularly well resolved entranceportico.Masonic Hall is a landmark on the western approach to Pinjarra.Masonic Hall is associated with the McLarty family, who were prominent in the history ofPinjarra, the Shire of Murray and the State.
Physical Description
Masonic Hall is a single-storey brick and corrugated iron building in the Federation Gothicstyle, with later utilitarian additions constructed in timber frame, clad in asbestos cement.
History
Soon after the Grand Lodge of Western Australia was officially declared, a group of men inthe Murray region – led by John Pollard McLarty, John McNab, Alfred Thomas and WilliamWarwick – began planning the formation of their own Masonic Hall in Pinjarra. In themeantime, they met in the Mechanics’ Institute.In July 1903, contractors Crothers and Hodd entered into a contract for the erection ofMasonic Hall, Pinjarra, which was proposed to be ‘a fine brick building, up to-date in everyway’.In August 1903, Pinjarra Town Lot 42 was purchased by McLarty, McNab, Thomas andWarwick, from the Church of England for £55.On 8 November 1903, the foundation stone of Masonic Hall was laid by Hon. Bro. EdwardMcLarty. The Hall was constituted and consecrated on 15 April 1904 by the Grand Master,the Hon. J W. Hackett, with the assistance of Bro. Rev. Edward Clairs, and henceforthidentified as Murray Lodge 69. After the official ceremony, a banquet was held at the nearbyExchange Hotel.In 1920, Kingsley Fairbridge, the founder of the Fairbridge Farm School, was initiated intoMurray Lodge 69.In the 1980s, an asbestos sheeting addition was erected at the rear of the hall to provideadditional kitchen and dining facilities. In the mid 1990s, all external walls of the original redbrick hall were painted cream.Owing to lowering membership numbers, Murray Lodge 69 integrated with Mandurah Lodge262 and a new combined lodge building at Furnissdale commenced construction in 1998.The Masonic Hall has been unoccupied for some time; however the building has beenundergoing lengthy and extensive conservation work. In 2012 approval was granted todemolish the 1980s supper room to the south.

Physical Description
Hotham Valley Tourist Railway is a collection of buildings, locomotives, coaches, and related equipment, necessary to operate a tourist railway.
History
Dwellingup was a busy centre for the timber industry until a disastrous fire in 1961 saw the demise of most of the surrounding timber mills. The railway line to Dwellingup, which had opened in 1910, saw ever-decreasing use until the weekly freight service was withdrawn in 1984. In 1974 local residents formed 'Pinjarra Steam and Hills Railway Preservation Society', which later became 'Hotham Valley Tourist Railway'. They recognised that this was a railway which retained its original character and was located with easy traveling distance from Perth. Because o the steep grades and small radius curves on this line, special locomotives were required for operation. After the cessation of steam locomotive operation in Western Australia in 1971, many were stowed at Collie. The Mountain type 'W' class was found to be the most suitable and four were purchased. A former Western Australian Government Railways )WAGR) dining car became Hotham Valley's first item of rolling stock when purchased in 1975. The former Pinjarra Loco Depot buildings, leased to a local fuel agent since becoming redundant during the 1960's, were leased to Hotham Valley in March 1976. Turnouts, track and sleepers were collected from many sources and re-laid and the two parallel ash pits were excavated and timber capping replaced. The depot was officially opened on 17 July 1977 by Westrail's Metropolitan District Engineer, mr. Don Pearce. Steam locomotive operation from Pinjarra commenced in Autumn 1978 and these locomotives have been used regularly from may to October on Forest Ranger picnic trains to Dwellingup. The first building project undertaken by Hotham Valley was a shed measuring 106m by 18m, erected at Pinjarra to accommodate two locomotives, while at Dwellingup a refreshment kiosk was built on the platform and the old booking hall and Station Master's office became a souvenir sales area. One of the most significant buildings is the former Westrail trainmen's barracks adjacent to the Pinjarra depot. The elimination of Pinjarra as a train crewing depot in 1986 made the barracks redundant and Hotham Valley was able to lease the premises. In addition to locomotives and coaches, Hotham Valley has acquired many other items of equipment. These include a 25 tonne steam crane, a turntable from Katanning and a wheel lathe from Geraldton. The achievements of Hotham Valley and its contribution to tourism have been recognized and rewarded. In 1986 Hotham Valley won the Transportation category of the National Tourism Awards and the following year won the Sir David Brand Tourism Award for the same category. This success in the State awards was repeated in 1988 and in 1990.

Statement of Significance
Since 1893 Pinjarra Railway Station Precinct has been a focus of the town, contributing tothe community's sense of place.The engine shed is believed to be the oldest remaining engine shed in Western Australia,and the carriage shed is believed to be the only surviving carriage shed in WesternAustralia.The goods shed, engine shed, carriage shed and barracks provide tangible evidence of anhistoric continuum, retaining functions close to their original uses.Through interpretation, the site has a capacity to demonstrate the particular operations atPinjarra Junction. Pinjarra Railway Station Precinct is valued by those with affection for rail and rail history.Pinjarra Railway Station Precinct is associated with Sir John Forrest, George Temple Poole,C. Y. O'Connor, and Neil McNeil.
Physical Description
A group of buildings, tracks and spaces related to the former railway operations at Pinjarra,including goods shed, engine shed, carriage shed and barracks.Station building burned down. Loco Shed and Goods Shed (1902) still in use. Also stillstanding and in good order: hand crane, turntable, barracks.A replica of the Station Building was constructed in the early 21st century and currentlyoperates as the Visitor Centre for Pinjarra.
History
The extension of the railway to Pinjarra was a catalyst for the development of the town, thesurrounding hills and Coolup region. The expansion of the rail network in the 1890s was anambitious program which brought economic benefit to the region and to the State, improvingcommunications and transport for mail, imports and exports. The program was particularlyambitious in the light of the limited resources of the colony and required considerableborrowings to effect their construction.The development and construction of the yards, in the initial phases at least, had closeassociations with the politicians Sir John Forrest and William Paterson, who played animportant role in securing the extension of the network to Pinjarra and beyond. Civilservants who also played an important role included Alpin Fowler Thomson, UnderSecretary of Railways; George Temple Poole, Colonial Architect and Assistant Engineer inChief at the Public Works Department, who developed the design for many of the standardrailway yards and station structures; C. Y. O'Connor, Engineer in Chief who made the EastPerth to Picton Junction line the first of the many projects he completed.Pinjarra Railway Station Precinct is also associated with contractors Neil McNeil & Co. whobuilt the Pinjarra to Picton Junction section of the South-West Railway and later the sectionfrom Jarrahdale Junction to Pinjarra. Finally, there is the association of all those whomanaged and worked in the yards and their families, all of whom had a role to play in theconstruction and subsequent functioning of the yards.The first train from Bunbury to Pinjarra, before the official opening of the line, was notablebecause of the trial of Collie Coal in the locomotive. The cost of importing coal from NewSouth Wales was very high and the ability of WAGR engines to use Collie Coal was adesign consideration for engine construction.The continued use of Pinjarra Railway Station Precinct as an operating tourist railway,following the decline of rail use in the post-World War II period, is indicative of a shift in thehistorical importance of railways and the sustained interest in them.

Statement of Significance
Culjum House has a high degree of value as, externally, it continues to demonstrate the appearance of an early homestead in the district. Culjum House is significant as an early farming homestead and is associated with the prominent Birch family.
Physical Description
A limestone residence.
History
The name 'Culjum' derives from the Aboriginal name for the areas surrounding Birchmont. Lewis Birch arrived on the Parkfield in 1841, and first settled at Australind. An apothecary,he moved to Perth and opened shops there and in Fremantle.Birch appears to have moved to the Murray District around 1845-46, and leased land fromPeel. In 1850, he was granted 6,000 acres. He settled in the Culjum area, building his firsthomestead in an unsuitable spot (a low area subject to flood and sandflies) on Crown Grant55.Realising the problems with this site, Birch decided to shift to a more suitable location a mileor so west, on Crown Grant 75, on which the present Culjum House is located.Dr Birch’s son, Arthur, also settled in the area, moving south to construct BirchmontHomestead.

As Ravenswood Hall, the place was one of the most substantial properties in the MurrayDistrict.Ravenswood Hotel has been operating as a hotel for more than a century.Ravenswood Hotel has high aesthetic value, and retains a great deal of ‘period charm’ despite additions and modifications over the years.
Physical Description
Nestled on the banks of the Murray River, the place is a large two-storey local red brickconstruction with iron roof. Most of the building, including additions, has been made withcream sand finish. Only the rear red brick wall can be seen in original state. The renderhelps the building to blend and gives old world charm.
History
After his previous property was damaged in the 1862 floods, Captain John Thomasconstructed a large two-storey house at Ravenswood. This property was later to becomeRavenswood Hotel. A watercolour of the residence (c.1870) shows a whitewashed andshingled building with formal gardens leading down to the Murray River.In 1876, Captain Thomas retired to Fremantle, leaving the residence in charge of his son,John Frederick Thomas.It has not been established exactly when the residence was first used for accommodationfor traveller, but it appears likely that this was during the 1880s, and it was probably knownas Ravenswood Hotel from this time.In November 1907, Alfred Edward Thomas, applied for a licence to convert the place into awayside inn. He described the place as follows:The premises are of brick, and contain seven bedrooms, two sittings-rooms,exclusive of those required by my family. I am the current occupier and owner of thepremises, which are now licensed under the name of Ravenswood Hotel, and whichI intend to keep as an lnn or Public-house.Alfred died in July 1911, and after this Ravenswood Hotel was run by Amy Augusta AmeliaThomas. Around this time, the Hotel developed a reputation for being a honeymoon venue,and accounts note that this was many newly-married couple’s destination. In the 1920s, italso became known as a desirable holiday resort.In April 1936, Mrs Thomas transferred the place to Kenneth Howell Angel, a well-known airpilot. He immediately announced plans for a major refitting of the Hotel, with tennis courts,golf links, a sports ground, and a landing strip for aircraft. It is likely that the interior of manyparts of the current Hotel, e.g. the private dining room, date from this time.Ravenswood Hotel has undergone a number of extensions and refits throughout the 20thcentury.The place was classified by the National Trust in October 1969.In 2003, a bottle shop and drive through was added to the north, along with an extension tothe lounge bar.

Creaton Estate is an important historical and archaeological site.Creaton Estate is significant as a demonstration of an 1850s rural community and is associated with the establishment of Pinjarra townsite.
Physical Description
At Paterson Road, just north of the township of Pinjarra, are the remnants of a formalgateway denoting the former entrance to the property containing the ruins of Creaton.The land is fairly flat from the road, falling away at the rear of the site of the ruin down alevee to a watercourse, perhaps an oxbow lake, leading to the main river further away. Anumber of old fruit trees were apparent around the ruins, some deciduous, with severalsurviving citrus along the levee. A group of water tanks mounted high on stands remainarrayed along the top of the levee.The surviving ruins of Creaton still standing above ground are in a T-plan with the top of the T facing Paterson Road (running mainly north-south at this point) and the leg of the Tcomprising some farm sheds. The northern building (right side facing) appears to be eitherthe smokehouse or a kitchen evidenced by the remnants of several brick vaulted ducts atfloor level leading from outside through a diaphragm wall into the main room which issomewhat higher than usual.The accommodation wing extends southwards from an adjoining covered way. Construction is of handmade bricks in lime mortar with mud plaster and limewash. The roof was originally shingle later covered with galvanised corrugated iron. The ceilings varied from lathe and plaster to timber boarding, with some pressed metal sections and fittings.The wall plaster is falling away revealing the mud float and lime plastered finish coat withstone coursing raked into the surface. Lintels are sawn timber. The verandah floor appears to be compacted clay. There is a parapet wall along the main verandah. Some lathe and plaster, pressed metal and matchboard ceiling fabrications were evident in the remnant fabric.The design style is a simple form of the Victorian Regency style.
History
The original grant on which Creaton Ruins was built was located at the south eastern extremity of Peel's holding, co*ckburn Sound Location 16. In 1839, Francis Corbet Singleton arrived onboard the Hindoo. Aged 27, Singleton brought a number of settlers and servants with him. He purchased 10,000 acres from Peel at 2/6d per acre, and set out to breed horses for sale in India. This project, however, soon failed. Singleton intended to settle his servants on small holdings with frontages to the rivers Dandalup and Murray, a system of tenant farming similar to his home county, in Ireland. By June 1839, Singleton had been appointed Justice of the Peace in Pinjarra and by 1841, he was Resident Magistrate in Pinjarra. In 1844, Singleton was appointed to the Legislative Council. Singleton's farm had become the social, economic and administrative centre in the district. Three hundred acres of the property had been cleared and fenced, barns, sheds, a horse mill (for grinding wheat produced on his 70 acres of crop land) and stockyards were built. A residence which stood close to the river was destroyed by fire in 1844, during Singleton's absence, along with all his possessions. After the fire, Singleton tried to lease the farm, and in 1848 he left the Colony for South Australia.In 1847, Anthony Cornish and Nicol Paterson formed a partnership, starting with boat hire in Fremantle, adding other businesses, flour milling, sandalwood trading, hotels and then farming. In 1853 the pair leased Singleton's farm which they later purchased in 1856 for £3,000. Cornish moved from Fremantle and commenced building another house and more barns. When completed, the house contained twelve rooms with a line of barns and outbuildings stretching out behind the house. The complex included a smoke house as well as a number of houses for tenants and labourers. At its peak, the property contained fourteen homes. Around this time, Dr Bedingfeld was appointed to the area. He lived with his family on Creaton Estate in a two-storey house called Parkfield (burned down in 1961). Ronald Richards gives the following description of Creaton Estate: [South] of the doctor's residence and immediately in front of John McLarty's old house was the Queen's Hotel; to the north was a small cottage past Cooroolyup, (then called Parkfield) and then the Creaton Homestead itself. This was quite substantial for the times, consisting of four rooms with verandahs front and back, connected by a central passageway. To this fairly common plan was added a large kitchen and sitting room which were linked by a covered way to another spacious room with a lean-to at the rear. This latter room was used as a retail store by Anthony Cornish. He also had a gallon liquor licence here and no doubt did a brisk trade. Other out-buildings were located at the rear of the house, including a smokehouse. Behind the main building was a long complex of barns, servant's quarters, blacksmith shop, etc., ... Paterson and Cornish both died around 1872, and Jane Paterson continued on at Creaton Estate, her sons William and George running the property. She died in 1896 and Creaton Estate was left to the sons. William moved to the Whitby Falls area, and George passed the property to his sons, Douglas and Frank. Douglas lived there until 1940 with the northern section of the estate coming into the possession of the Gibbs family until 1968, then the Emanuels. Presently (2018), the site is ruins only, and attempts to secure funding to conserve the place have been unsuccessful.

The original window frames and lintelswere taken from an older cottage at Ravenswood Farm.In late 1990s, approval was given to extensive renovations of the property. Original roof and beams were replaced as they’d been destroyed by white ants. Most of the original cottage was clad in asbestos, which has since been removed. Only the eastern most wing remains, which has since been modified.

Statement of Significance
Whittaker's Mill was the headquarters of Whittaker Bros, a significant timber producer whose output is linked to the development of Western Australia throughout the 20th Century. Whittaker's Mill has archaeological potential to reveal additional information regarding timber production in the first half of the 20th Century.
Physical Description
Although a site only, reportedly portions of the rail line up to the escarpment remain
History
Arthur George Whittaker founded a timber business in the early 1890s. Originally from Melbourne, his experiences in Victoria and America were incorporated in the methods and plant his company utilised.In particular, Whittaker’s interest in mechanisation was maintained and it led to production being carried out efficiently through the medium of modern machinery. One innovation at the company’s Subiaco Mill was the generation of electricity from the waste products of the mill, giving enough power to operate all the saws and machines.The company also produced prefabricated buildings in timber and asbestos which were erected throughout Western Australia. In addition to providing constructional timbers, Whittaker’s also undertook cabinet work, office fittings and sanding and polishing of floors. ‘If it's timber, see Whittakers’ was the company’s slogan.Whittaker Bros primary forest mill was situated at North Dandalup, and the first mill buildings were erected 1902. This was on the site of a Bunnings relinquished lease. Bunnings had difficulties in shifting felled timber to the rail station in North Dandalup, but Whittaker’s overcame this by constructing a spur line to the edge of the scarp and then a tramway to their storage yards adjacent to the station.Very quickly, Whittaker’s grew to house a sizeable township.In 1929, the Mill was described as follows:Whittaker’s mill nestles in the forest-clad hills above North Dandalup station, and associated with it is a fairly large village, equipped with its school, post office, store, boarding house, and public hall. The mill covers a large area, and has two steam power units of a total capacity of 120 horse power. Twelve saw benches are in use. Whittaker’s have cut out a 20,000-acre reserve, but in time to come this may reach a profitable stage again. Now they are operating on a 15,000-acre concession. The mill handles an average of about sixty logs a day.A small village also sprang out near Whittaker’s storage yards at the train station. A shop was opened around 1892 when the rail line reached the station. In 1902 the first North Dandalup Hotel was constructed, and eventually this little village became North Dandalup.By the 1930s, much of the surrounding forest had been felled. The infrastructure was ageing it was recognised that operations would wind down and the Mill soon close.Although the Mill survived the depression by reducing staff hours, rather than reducing staff numbers, the Mill finally ceased operations during WWII due to the labour shortage.On 28 November 1944, Whittaker’s Mill caught fire and extensive damage was caused to the timber-cutting machinery, which ended production by the company at North Dandalup. By 1947, Whittaker Bros were working from a new mill at Serpentine, while their Waroona operations also stepped up production.
