THINGS TO SEE IN NANNUP

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

The Blackwood River

The river is at the heart of Nannup and will immerse you into a country setting with streams, waterfalls and rapids. A favourite activity on the river is canoeing, depending on the season changing from a gentle paddle to a wild run down the rapids. Fishing in the river is also fun and popular.

A bit of Nannup's history

The name Nannup comes from the Noongyar Aboriginal people, meaning "a place to stay." Settlers arrived in the 1850s, and Nannup became a crossing point for those traveling between the coast and farms. With a population of about 1,200, the town retains its country charm, with preserved heritage buildings. Timber, cattle, tourism, and floriculture now drive its economy.
