Dinninup

A small rural centre in the Shire of Boyup Brook, on the Boyup Brook - Arthur Road, approximately 15 kilometres east of Boyup Brook. The town owes its existence to the construction of the Boyup Brook to Kojonup railway line which passed through what is now the townsite in 1908. Dinninup got its name from the nearby Dinninup Brook. Dinninup station was built in 1910. Gazetting of the town followed 5 years later. The railway line and station have now been removed
