Badgingarra - Western Australia
Badgingarra is little more than a roadhouse, caravan park and tavern. The name originates (as with many towns) with the Aboriginal people who named a small pool in a river about 5km out of town. The name is said to mean water by the manna gums. The name obviously came about before land clearing started as there appear to be precious few trees in the area today. The original spelling was Badjingarra.
In spring (August/September) the wildflowers grow in profusion in this area. Nature trails through the national parks attract visitors from all over. Farming did not reach the area until relatively recently so much of the large tracts of native wildflowers have remained undisturbed.
22km north west of the town is the Nyagarda Bird Park. It houses over 100 types of birds both domestic and imported. It also has a large shell collection. (Opening times: 9.00 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. seven days a week.)
South east of the town is the Waddi Emu Farm that breeds emus for the skin trade as well as planting and harvesting wildflowers. The farm has chalets and a caravan park as well as a swimming pool and restaurant.
In 1984 a nature trail was established and information on the trail can be obtained from the roadhouse. In 2013 the Badgingarra Natural Playground was opened next to the community centre.
In 2005 work began on the Emu Downs Wind Farm. The facility is made up of 48 wind turbines and it began producing power in 2006.
In 2010 a large bushfire damaged many farms and killed over 1,700 livestock. In 2012 the area suffered almost the opposite effect when 50mm of rain was dumped on the town in an hour and large falls of hail damaged crops.

Peel Yalgorup Wetlands System
The Mandurah Estuary, Peel Inlet, Harvey Estuary and the region’s many lakes, rivers and conservation reserves form the Peel-Yalgorup Wetland System, which was declared of International Importance in 1990 by the Ramsar Convention.
The estuary is the largest and most diverse estuarine complex and the most important area for migratory and resident waterbirds in south west Australia. They support unique and critically endangered communities, including the thrombolites at Lake Clifton which are over 2,000 years old.
Bring your binoculars and grab the ‘Birdwatching Walking Trail Guide’ at the Mandurah Visitor Centre or download from visitpeel.com.au and start exploring by land, boat or canoe.

Cunderdin, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LGA: Shire of Cunderdin
State District: Central Wheatbelt
Federal Division: O'Connor

Cunderdin is a town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia 156 km east of Perth,[2] on Great Eastern Highway.
Contents [hide]
[edit] History
The first European visitor to the area was Charles Cooke Hunt, who explored the area in 1864 and recorded the name Cunderdin, from the Aboriginal name of a nearby hill. The meaning of the name is unknown but is thought to mean place of the bandicoot.
Like many small towns in the area, Cunderdin developed as a stop-off town during the gold rush in the WA Goldfields. Significantly in 1894 the railway arrived signalling the earliest settlement in the town. Later, in 1901, the Goldfields Water Scheme designed by C. Y. O'Connor led to a renewed increase in population of the town. The townsite was gazetted in 1906.[3]
[edit] Economy
As part of the wheatbelt, the economy of Cunderdin is primarily agricultural. There is an agricultural college 3 km north of the town; it is one of the six campuses of the Western Australia College of Agriculture. There are approximately 110 students supported by 50 staff and their families.[4]
Cunderdin Airstrip is situated next to the agriculture college.[4] It was built early in the Second World War as a base for the RAAF flying school and bomber base.[5]
[edit] Farming
Cunderdin is mostly a farming community. Former Chairman of the WA Colleges of Agriculture, Alan Carter, is one of the many farmers to occupy land in the region. His produce consists of wheat, lupins, canola and also livestock. There is also great livestock production. The Jolma Poll Dorset Stud, run by Perry Jasper and Co., has been very successful when competing in exhibition shows in Perth and Adelaide.

Cunderdin daviesia (Daviesiacunderdin) is a small to medium sized shrub, which grows to 1.6 m high. It appears that it is isolated to the Cunderdin area.[7]
Visitors cannot help but notice the large Ettamogah theme hotel and pub when driving through the town, due to its redness and a car on its roof. It is based on the comics of Ken Maynard and is one of a few of these pubs scattered throughout Australia. There are similar venues in Sydney, Albury-Wodonga,[8] The Sunshine Coast, Queensland and Morley.
Cunderdin also serves as a stop on the Prospector and Avonlink rural train services. wa CARAVAN TRIP 2008 DON PUGH
