Hester Brook is a rural locality of the Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes in the South West region of Western Australia. Hester Brook is located on the South Western Highway, which passes through its north-eastern part. The Blackwood River forms the south-western border of the locality.[1] [2]
The Shire of Bridgetown–Greenbushes is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman (also spelled Bibbulmun or Pibelmen)[3] [4] and Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people,[5] [6] both of the Noongar nation.[7] [8]
The heritage-listed Peninsula House, a homestead dating back to 1920, is located in Hester Brook, overlooking a bend in the Blackwood River. An earlier cottage at the location, dating back to 1890, was destroyed in a bushfire in 2009.[9] A second heritage-listed building, Parkville, also overlooking a bend in the river, dates back to 1900. An older dwelling at the site, built a decade earlier, is now used as a tool shed.[10]
