Nestled in the rural heartland of the Great Southern Region, historic Kojonup is more than just a gateway to the beautiful south. At the heart of Kojonup is the fresh water spring which first attracted European settlers to the town in 1837. Overlooking the spring is the Old Military Barracks, one of the oldest surviving military buildings in Western Australia.
Kojonup is located on Highway 95 running directly from Perth to the historic port of Albany and just 2 hours drive from Perth and a short 160 kilometres from Albany.
Kojonup is well-equipped with facilities to cater for just about every sporting activity. When you are exhausted from all your sporting activities just sit back and bask in the peace and tranquillity. Relax amongst beautiful countryside lush with wildflowers and alive with wildlife. Keen gardeners will find much to inspire them with many homes taking part in the Australian Open Garden Scheme.
Konjonup has a long proud history, stretching back centuries to the days when nomadic Aborigines were first attracted to the area by the freshwater spring and an abundance of game. Even the name Kojonup has a historic significance referring to the "Kodja" or stone axe made by Aborigines from the local stone of the area.
