Welcome to Manjimup Manjimup is just 307 km from Perth, in the beautiful south west corner of Western Australia - a land of tall timbers, abundant fresh water, rich soils and undulating scenery. Early settlers rejoiced in the potential wealth of the land and created their future with the axe, plough and the sweat of their brows. This pioneer history has created the vibrant cultures that are so much a part of Manjimup today. Manjimup has a population of around 5,000 and is the regional centre for the Warren and Blackwood Valleys, providing all the facilities you would expect, including an airport. Timber and heritage Timber is synonymous with Manjimup and its effect on the area is recorded with pride, combined with educational insights, at the Timber Park and Museum complex, the King Jarrah, One Tree Bridge and more. Indulge in our many forest walks and experience for yourself the wonder of the tall tree country with its majestic Karri and Jarrah. Feature events Each year, Manjimup hosts the internationally renowned Motocross 15000, the Cherry Harmony Festival and the J B Ipsen Memorial Golf Tournament. Whether you are from Western Australia, inter-state or overseas, make sure you visit this uniquely beautiful part of our State. Better still, stay for a few days and sample the delights of Manjimup and the Southern Forests. Manjimup Visitor Centre The Visitor Centre is centrally located in Manjin Park and open 7 days, with friendly staff who will always have time to assist you with information and accommodation bookings to ensure your visit to Manjimup is interesting and enjoyable. Thank you to Roy and his volunteers for all their support they give to the Cherry Festival

editor@australianfestivalguide.com Our aim is to be the most comprehensive festival portal around, promoting festivals large and small, those happening in laneways and buildings and fields, under trees, online and everywhere in between. We think festivals are pretty special ways to experience art and performance, music, food, wine, design, community and culture, new media and film and the multitude of other types of festivals out there. So get out there and be a patron, happy hunting... The australianfestivalguide.com website originated as a way of promoting not just the world-class festivals that happen throughout the country but as a recognition of the important contribution festivals make to the Australian cultural landscape. We hope that by providing a centralised festival information service that the searching process is simplified and leads to greater awareness of the many inspiring festivals to be found within Australia. The website, designed as a portal, offers links to every kind of festival imaginable. Online visitors can search by festival date, state and type and this information, thanks to the wonderful world of the web is available 24/7 to anyone, anytime, with access to the Net. We like to think that what we have created is really, a perfect example of the win-win scenario. Festival patrons find the information they need faster and festival promoters get extended marketing reach. The added bonus being the tangible economic, social, and cultural benefits experienced in regions where festivals take place. What it all boils down to of course is the promotion of a set of experiences – humanity baring itself through the various art forms. The festival format is the ideal platform for that process to play out and it is a dedication to that concept which was the driving force behind the creation of our guide. We hope you enjoy it. Catherine Evans Online Editor / Founder Want to promote your festival on our website? Benefits include: Your information available 24/7 to people seeking this information because they WANT to. You can use this online resource as an effective organisational tool. By knowing when and where festivals are happening you can ensure that your event is timely and not in direct competition for potential patrons. Inbound travelers to Australia conduct research about their destination 3-6 months prior to arriving. Festivals are ranked very highly as a search subject on the net, let them know about your festival! Promoting your festival online is significantly cheaper than print alternatives with a potential audience of millions around the globe.

Cnr Rose and Brockman Street, Manjimup

A Brief HistoryThe name Manjimup was derived from the aboriginal word "Manjin" – a special edible reed and "up" meaning meeting place. The area was first settled in 1856 near the present town site of Manjimup. The area has strong links with the timber industry and other industries include horticulture, agriculture, viticulture, dairying, aquaculture and tourism. The Shire area was first included in the Plantagenet Wellington and Sussex Road Districts in 1871. Later the area was included in the Nelson Road Board District. The Warren Road District was formed on 3 July 1908 and consisted of 7 elected members. In June 1925, the Warren Road District name was changed to the Manjimup Road District. The number of members was changed to 9, then in 1928 to 10 and then 13 in 1953. From May 2003 elected member numbers were reduced to 11. With the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960, the Manjimup Road District name was changed to the Shire of Manjimup effective from 1 July 1961. DemographicsOverviewLargest Shire in the South West (7,028 km2) Population of 10,030 (2001 census) 6,663 Electors (May 2005) 85% of the Shire is National Park or State Forest (600,000 hectares) Incorporates 4 towns & 5 settlements 40% of the States’ potable water Low unemployment (4.2% December 2002) Agricultural production $112m pa (98/99) Forest products $140m pa (99) Largest orchard in WA (Casuarina Valley) Largest nursery in WA (CALM Manjimup) 3rd largest wine region in WA at 13% of production (Margaret River 42% & Great Southern 20%) 140 km’s of pristine coastline 40% of the world famous Bibbulmun Track Extensive road, rail, air and telecommunication infrastructure Temperate Climate Rainfall 1100mm annual average Economic DevelopmentEconomic Development FocusThe Shire of Manjimup has appointed a community based Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) to develop a plan for the economic future of the community. This committee is made up from a blend of business leaders and Councillors. The Economic Development Plan adopted in November 2002 encompasses plans to broaden the timber industry base by adding furniture manufacture, and proposes expansion into new areas such as natural medicine and IT. The plan recommends roles for all three levels of government, in the redevelopment o SettlementsThe town of Manjimup is a regional centre for the largest Shire in the South West of Western Australia.
