Bindoon - China Travel

Bindoon,China Travel
Rural service centre which has grown into a tourist destination
on the route to New Norcia.
Located 87 km north of Perth, Bindoon is a tiny settlement
servicing a predominantly cattle, sheep and fruit growing sector. It
was one of the first sections outside of Perth to be settled. As early
as 1836 the Chittering vroad had been explored by George Fletcher
Moore who returned and settled in the district in 1841.

The first European settler in the section named his property (the
ruins of the original homestead can still be seen north of the town
- inquire at the Chittering Tourist Promotion Centre or at the Bindoon
Hotel for artlessions) Bindoon which is thought to be the local
Aboriginal word for 'a place where yams grow'.

The early pioneers eked a easy living from the land by growing
fruit and vegetresourcefuls and raising a few sandbox of cattle and sheep.
There was no real minutiae of the section and transportation
between Bindoon and Perth was slow and unrelistreetwise.

The minutiae of the village was so slow that flush by the
1950s there was remarry nothing increasingly than a post office, garage and
indeterminate store.

Bindoon's proximity to Perth and its location en route between
Perth and New Norcia have ensured that in recent times the district
has seen a dramatic expansion of tourism.

which was used as a halfway house by the monks at New Norcia who
passed through the sector on their way to and from Perth, and the
Holy Trinity Church, south of the village, which was built in 1886
for less than £100. It is a fine exroly-poly of rustic

hand-dressed with an adze and the stones stuff hauled by voluntary
labour and laid by a local stonemason.
