Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes

The Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes consists of the town-sites of Bridgetown and Greenbushes as well as several other localities including Yornup and Catterick. Bridgetown is nestled amongst the hills on the banks of the Blackwood River and has the rare combination of old world charm and modern facilities. Many fine old buildings have been restored to their former glory, including the post office, old goal, police quarters and ‘Bridgedale’, the home built in 1862 by one of the areas first settlers, John Blechynden.
