Shire of Donnybrook Balingup

The Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup is situated in the South West of Western Australia in a picturesque area surrounded by stunning forests, winding rivers, rolling hills, vineyards and lush orchards. Donnybrook-Balingup is historically known as the first genuinely "rural" township of consequence that one enters when travelling south from Perth. Donnybrook-Balingup also boasts a highly central location, being only half an hour from the city life and beautiful beaches of Bunbury. The Shire is a leisurely one hour drive from the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay and the famous Margaret River Wine Region, while still being within within easy reach of the tall timbers of Pemberton and the South West's abundant attractions. Its central location is also well placed for access to adjacent areas of employment such as Bunbury, Capel, Collie and Greenbushes.
