24.01.2022 Have you ever heard of, been to or lived in Donnybrook? Your State Library is featuring WA regional towns on its Facebook Page. It's an opportunity to share st...ories, old photos and connect with old friends. Recently featured Denham, Meckering, Wyalkatchem, Nannup and Newdegate. The town of Donnybrook is situated 210 kilometres south of Perth. The traditional owners are the Noongar Aboriginal people, who have been in the area for thousands of years. Donnybrook was named by European settlers after a suburb in Ireland in 1842. The town was gazetted in 1894. Originally a timber mill settlement on the banks of the Preston River, gold was discovered nearby in 1897. For a short time Donnybrook became the scene of a small gold rush, which attracted over 200 gold miners. With no more gold to be found, disappointed miners turned their skills to growing fruit. In 1900 the first Granny Smith apple was planted. Today Donnybrook is at the heart of apple production in Western Australia. Other industries include timber, beef, dairy, viticulture, olives and avocados. The annual Donnybrook Apple Festival established in 1954, celebrates 'the apple' and is popular with locals and tourists. It includes agricultural displays, a sideshow alley, fireworks and a street parade. Donnybrook is also home to Australia’s largest known English Oak planted in 1893. As well as gracious heritage buildings built from local sandstone and even an Apple Fun Park. Not surprisingly given the beauty of the town, the abundance of culinary delights and friendly country hospitality, Donnybrook has become a popular tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy walk and bike trails taking in the flora, fauna and history of the town. There is an Indigenous Walk Trail created with the local Aboriginal community which among other stories, shares the Dreamtime story of the creation of what we now call the Preston River.
