Moodiarrup A small farming centre set close the Arthur River and Lake Towerrinning, south of Duranillin and north-east of Dinninup, on the Boyup Brook - Arthur River Road. Originally called Mudiarrup, this was changed to the current spelling in 1957. Moodiarrup is 35 km south of Darkan and some 236 south-east of Perth. The locality was gazetted in 1909 although government surveyors were in the district as far back as the 1870's, as were the early settlers |

Moodiarrup - Lake Towerrinning Sign To the north of Moodiarrup is quite a large lake which looks a little out of place in the somewhat arid surrounds. Now I had trouble spelling the name, it looks like whoever made these two signs couldn't agree either. My Roads and Tracks of W.A. book has another variety - Towerinning. I'll go with the 2 R's and 2 N's version. April 2012. Photos Ref: MOOD003 |

Moodiarrup - Lake Towerrinning The water looks fine, although perhaps a little low after summer. This is one of two jetties. Over across the water on the right is a camping ground - you can just see it. People are boating there today. April 2012. Photos Ref: MOOD004 |
