Bunbury, Western Australia
Bunbury is a coastal city in the Australian state of Western Australia, approximately south of the state capital, Perth. It is the state's third most populous city after Perth and Mandurah, with a population of approximately 75,000. Located at the south of the Leschenault Estuary, Bunbury was established in 1836 on the orders of Governor James Stirling, and named in honour of its founder, Lieutenant (at the time) Henry Bunbury. A port was constructed on the existing natural harbour soon after, and eventually became the main port for the wider South West region. Further economic growth was fuelled by completion of the South Western Railway in 1893, which linked Bunbury with Perth. Greater Bunbury includes four local government areas (the City of Bunbury and the shires of Capel, Dardanup, and Harvey), and extends between Yarloop in the north, Boyanup to the south and Capel to the southwest.

Cookernup, Western Australia
Cookernup is a town in the South West of Western Australia near the South Western Highway, between Waroona and Harvey. History In 1835 Stephen Henty and Thomas Peel were the first Europeans to visit the area, being guided through the reaches of the Harvey River by local Aboriginal people. Cookernup's name derives from an Aboriginal name meaning "the place of the swamp hen" (cooki). The first settler, Joseph Logue, came to the area in 1852 with his extended family in search of good farming land, acquiring a grant which he called Kookernup. He later settled on the north bank of a nearby brook, now called Logue Brook. The area was important in the milling and transport of local timber, with a railway reserve being constructed for timber stacking. In the early 1890s, Cookernup had a much greater population than Harvey, and had a school and telegraph office several years earlier. The population of the town was 59 (35 males and 24 females) in 1898. Present day Cookernup is a sma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gwindinup, Western Australia
Gwindinup is a small town and locality of the Shire of Capel in the South West region of Western Australia, located along the South Western Highway and the Preston River. The Shire of Capel and the locality of Gwindinup are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people of the Noongar nation. The area of the Gwindinup townsite, including the sites of the former Runnymead Mill and school, are heritage-listed. The town's origin dates back to 1892 when it was founded as a railway siding, then under the name of Runnymeade, on the Boyanup to Donnybrook railway line. A town site was gazetted in 1909 but, to prevent confusion as the name Runnymeade was already in use in Australia, the name Gwindinup was allocated to the new town instead. The origins of the name are unknown but may come from a local variation of the spelling of the near-by Gynudup Brook.

Glen Iris, Western Australia
A glen is a valley, typically one that is long and bounded by gently sloped concave sides, unlike a ravine, which is deep and bounded by steep slopes. Whittow defines it as a "Scottish term for a deep valley in the Highlands" that is "narrower than a strath".. The word is Goidelic in origin: ''gleann'' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, ''glion'' in Manx. The designation "glen" also occurs often in place names. Etymology The word is Goidelic in origin: ''gleann'' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic, ''glion'' in Manx. In Manx, ''glan'' is also to be found meaning glen. It is cognate with Welsh ''glyn''. Examples in Northern England, such as Glenridding, Westmorland, or Glendue, near Haltwhistle, Northumberland, are thought to derive from the aforementioned Cumbric cognate, or another Brythonic equivalent. This likely underlies some examples in Southern Scotland. As the name of a river, it is thought to derive from the Irish word ''glan'' meaning clean, or the Welsh word ''gleindid'' ...
