Welcome to Bridgetown!!
Bridgetown
is located in the beautiful Warren Blackwood region 270 km
south of Perth. The town was gazetted in June 1868 by surveyor Thomas
Carey. Bridgetown still retains many historic buildings today. In the
early days Bridgetown relied on agricultural pursuits such as sheep
farming and timber. In 1892 a gold rush brought prosperity to the town.
Nowadays the tranquil and picturesque landscape appeals to tourists and residents alike. There are many bush walking and picnic opportunities in the area.
The area is also known for Blues at Bridgetown, Festival of Country Gardens and the Blackwood Marathon.
Recently the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes was pleased to release a new brochure outlining the walk trails in the area. Please click HERE to view this informative and detailed brochure.
For a huge collection of
jigsaw puzzles and local information is also available from the Bridgetown-Greenbushes
Visitor Centre.
