Brunswick is located in the heart of dairy country about one and half hours drive south of Perth. The town was named in the late 1800s after an English Duke.
The township of Brunswick became known as "Brunswick Junction" after a railway junction connecting the rail line from the Collie Coalfields was established there in the 1890s. The picturesque town is steeped in the history of pioneering days. It is bordered by the Darling Ranges, surrounded by lush green hills and farming country, providing spectacular views for scenic drives. The statue of a friesian cow statue named Daisy stands proudly in the centre of town, a tribute to the predominance of dairy farming in the area. The largest one-day agricultural show in rural Western Australia is held in Brunswick each spring. Brunswick has a caravan park with park homes, on-site vans, powered sites and camping. |
