Mahogany Creek Mahogany Creek is a hills suburb set off to the south of the Great Eastern Highway, south of Parkerville. The suburb is named after the nearby Mahogany Creek which is a tributary to Jane Brook. An interesting fact is that Mahogany is the term given by the early settlers to jarrah. This area was developed primarily for fruit growing around 1890. Mr Parker's (Parkerville) local house is now the Old Mahogany Inn. At one stage this was known as Prince of Wales Inn |

Mahogany Creek - Mahogany Inn A little to the west of what is now the main hotel is the older section. The stonework is typical of many period buildings. The first building to be erected on this site was a barracks constructed in 1839. The barracks served to house those entrusted to ensure the safety of travellers passing through between Guildford and York. The barracks closed in 1841. December 2011. Photos Ref: MHGY002 |
