Wellington Mills Wellington Mill or Wellington Mills? It depends on where you look. The townsite was established back in 1900 when the Canning Jarrah Timber Co. commenced logging in the area. There was even a spur rail line coming out of Dardanup. Once up on a time a town of substance, it commenced into decline when the main mill was closed in 1919. What was left of the town was almost all destroyed in a fire in 1950. Still the town lives on, as you can see |

Wellington Mills - Gnomesville About 1.5 kilometres south of the Wellington Mills townsite, and on the Ferguson Road, is Gnomesville. A very popular tourist stopping point. Apparently back in the 1990's, local resident Kathleen Rees placed a single gnome in the hollow of a tree in this area. Then others followed, and look at it now - there are thousands! July 2018.
