Dardanup West is a rural locality of the Shire of Dardanup in the South West region of Western Australia.[1] [2]
Dardanup West and the Shire of Dardanup are located on the traditional land of the Noongar people.[3] [4] The word "Dardanup" is believed to be a variation of the Aboriginal word Dudingup, the meaning of which is unknown.
The locality is home to the heritage listed Dardanup Park Homestead, which dates back to 1852. Originally built by Thomas Little, a pioneer settler, it was later home to Harry Venn, Western Australian Minister for Railways.[5]
