PEACEFUL PARADISE - MOTIVATED SELLER
A Natural Bush block to immerse yourself in and soak up all that Nature can throw at you. A beautiful retreat among the Dwellingup forest just a short drive from the town of Dwellingup where your only neighbours are the kangaroos and emus. You can truly be at one with nature on this property of just over 5 hectares to enjoy as you wish.
The property has a huge, powered 7m x 18m shed (built in 2012) big enough to accomodate everything a man and his family needs (or wants) to enjoy life or as a workshop if need be. Rainwater is collected from this shed to the large 96,000 litre tank for use through the house. A caravan is used as the basis for the bedrooms and a loungeroom/office, and a new kitchen and bathroom has been built adjoining the lounge. There is also a whimsical little cottage in the middle of the block completely surrounded by forest. A real retreat away from the daily grind.
Of course, there is an orchard which has been fenced to keep out our beautiful native fauna, which includes fruits such as peaches, cherries, plums, and nuts including pecans and chestnuts. Join us at your leisure for a stroll around this beautiful property. Call Annee - 0423 039 788.

Dwellingup overview
Dwellingup is located in a timber and fruitgrowing area in the Darling Range ESE of Pinjarra. Townsite lots were surveyed at this place by Surveyor W.F. Rudall in 1909 after the Lands Department became aware that the site was planned as the terminus of the "Pinjarra-Marrinup Railway". Names suggested for the place by Rudall were "Dwellingerup" or "Marrinup", after nearby brooks, or "McLarty" after a local MLA who had been very active concerning the railway. Surveyor General H.F. Johnston chose "Dwellingupp" after being misinformed regarding the spelling of Dwellingerup Brook. Ignoring a suggestion from the Under Secretary to amend the name to "Dwellingdown", the Minister for Lands approved the name as "Dwellingup" in December 1909. Eventually, the spelling "Dwellingupp" was chosen by order of the Under Secretary for Lands, and the townsite was gazetted as Dwellingupp in February 1910. The spelling was amended to Dwellingup in 1915. Dwellingup is an Aboriginal name said to mean "place of nearby water". The town was burnt out by a bushfire in 1961 but was rebuilt.
The double 'p' spelling in the original gazettal of this name was used because the Lands and Surveys Department had adopted a system for spelling Aboriginal names developed by the Royal Geographical Society. A number of Aboriginal names ending in "up" were for a time spelt with the "upp" ending (including Kirupp, Kulikupp, Manjimupp and Mungalupp). The RGS system had a rule that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English. This would have meant that names ending in "up" should have been pronounced as "oop", because the Italian "u" was a long "u", as in flute. These Aboriginal names were meant to be pronounced as "up", and the Department asked the RGS for a rule to assist in correct pronunciation. The RGS solution was that doubling the following consonant shortened the preceding vowel, and this meant the "upp" ending ensured the "up" pronunciation. However, this particular rule was rescinded in 1915 for SW towns with the suffix "up", as the Australian way of pronouncing the letter "u" was almost always short, and rarely the Italian "oo".
