Dardanup is located in the South West
region of Western Australia, just southeast of
Bunbury (14 km) and only 180 km south
of Perth. The gateway to the
Ferguson Valley, Dardanup is located in a region of fertile farmland,
sensational views and native bush. It is an area that has gained popularity with
visitors coming to enjoy the wildflowers, wine tasting and bush walking for
starters. The original name of the area was Dudginup, although the true
origins of this name is uncertain. With various meanings such as a place of
swamp reed and burial ground by the water, the only certainty is that the
name is derived from the name used by the original Aboriginal inhabitants.
Dardanup Shire includes the townships of Dardanup, Burekup, Eaton,
Ferguson, Padbury Fields,
Waterloo and
Wellington Mills.
