The peaceful town of Boyup Brook owes its name to an aboriginal word meaning “place of big stones” or “place of big smoke” given to Boyup Pool, a few kilometres from the town. Being only 269 kilometres from Perth and between the major highways, Boyup Brook is ideal for a quiet stopover away from the rush and bustle of the city or bigger towns. Visitors will be impressed by the neat farms, ever changing scenery, natural bushland and the serene beauty of the Blackwood River and can enjoy canoeing, bush walks, birds, wildflowers, the Perup Nature’s Guesthouse and farm visits.
