The historic town of Jarrahdale sits amid the forest on the Darling Scarp - inland from the coastal city of Rockingham.
The two tows have a linked past as timber was cut in areas around Jarrahdale and then sent by rail to be shipped overseas from Rockingham.
Jarrahdale is popular with day-trippers from the suburbs on the coastal plain as there are a number of things to see and do in the area.
One of the main attractions, Goorolong Park, was closed off to easy access and Langford Park is a mere shadow of its former self but there are some good bush walks and good picnic sites at Serpentine and Pipehead dams. In the town itself, there are a number of historic buildings including a church, timber mill manager's house and mill workers cottages. The cottages, despite being fenced off, have been badly damaged by vandals.
In 1997 the town was added to the National Trust's List of Classified Heritage places.
The local tavern is still a popular place to sit and enjoy views out over the bush on lazy Sunday afternoons.

I left Perth in 1999 right after uni to go and find a job out in the wide world, your videos are great trips down memory lane of time spent camping, never ending school holidays and being with dearly departed grandparents. Subscribed to remind myself I'll move back home eventually, sooner rather than later I hope ! Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. We came home to W.A. so hopefully you will too :)

Walked down to the day use area a few years back and it was magical. No idea why they wouldn't open it back up. Probably NIMY locals not wanting city slickers ruining their tranquility. The spot is beautifully shaded and cool even in summer because of the pine forest.

They shut off Gooralong? RIP my childhood

@ontheroadwithjohn 3 года назад

Another good video but wooow getting a bit political there young fella. But yes such a waste of an established place that looks quite inviting.

It breaks my heart to see Goorolong in such a dreadful state. We have complained to the relevant minister (previous govt.) and even got a petition going but it is still pretty well cut off from most people. There used to be a campsite there and even if they had wanted to shut that down, they at least could have left day use open. Crazy decision. I know someone else also got a petition going but to no avail.
