Manjimup - Western Australia
Published 2024-05-07
The name, like many others comes from the Aboriginal language and may mean either rushes by the waterhole or is based on the word 'manjin' which is an edible root of the yam daisy.
There are a number of attractions around the town that you might consider visiting. There are a few in close proximity to each other on Graphite road about 20 minutes west of town. These include:
One Tree Bridge, Glenrowan Pool, The Four Aces and Greens Island Campground.

Thank you as always.😊

I am pretty sure the tallest of those fire-watch tower trees are Karri not Jarrah. Manjimup was my first "home" (tent and then caravan) in Australia. I just loved the feel of the place. Thank you for taking me back there today.

A great town must get back down there in the cooler months , cheers for the video

Captured the essence of the area well. My great-grandparents were Group Settlers in Pemberton and Manjimup and family still farming down there.

I enjoy your videos. One correction however regarding this one; As another commentator wrote, the trees you picture are Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) not Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata). Swan River Mahogany was the common name the original British settlers in Perth (originally called the Swan River Settlement) gave to Jarrah - not Karri - soon after settlement in 1829. Jarrah became the the Swan River Settlement's (later Perth and the state of Western Australia) first export commodity. The initial Jarrah 'gathering' began in the Darling Ranges immediately east of Perth where Karri does not grow. Jarrah (no longer referred to as Swan River Mahogany) was exported to Europe and served as road base (cobbles?) in The Strand and the Champs Elysees and as sleepers in the London Underground. The common names Jarrah and Karri were the aboriginal names for these trees. The much larger growing Karri was later 'harvested' (and indeed clear felled!) further south - Manjimup being one of the numerous tree felling and saw milling centres. So, the towns of Dwellingup, Jarrahdale and Collie in the north were solely Jarrah areas whereas Manjimup and Pemberton in the south for example were both Karri and Jarrah areas. Denmark further south would have been predominantly Karri. Karri is the fourth tallest growing hardwood tree in the world.

Love the tall timber country. Im currently in Whyalla and was just telling someone who is coming to WA about the area

Well done (I live in manjimup) some things not totally correct, but close enough! I do have to say the Giblet, is pronounced with a g like giraffe. But nicely put together.
