Pinjarra is the centre of the Shire of Murray, is one of the oldest towns in Western Australia and lies on the banks of the Murray River, along the South West Highway. Although the district had been settled since the early 1830's, large tracts of land remain untouched and have an air of peace and tranquility. Located just 86km south of Perth, this is the perfect destination for a quiet holiday or a stop over on you way along the Great Southern Highway.
Historic buildings of colonial architecture, beautifully restored, abound and the dignified steam engines of the Hotham Valley Tourist Railway are ready to take visitors on a nostalgic journey through lush farmlands, up the dramatic and beautiful Darling Scarp and into the forest of Dwellingup, the steam only running May to October.
If its action you want Pinjarra has both thoroughbred and harness racing, an excellent golf course, skydiving and a multitude of water and land based activities. Visit the Heritage Rose Garden. This place boasts a rose that is a decendant of a plant dating back to 3000 BC and is the oldest cultivated rose in existence!
Pinjarra has a selection of cafes and restaurants, tearooms, hotel restaurants and Chinese restaurants.
