Dongara
is located 80 km north of Eneabba (360 km north of Perth) and it is
a very popular holiday destination. The stop in Dongara - Port Denison
is a must for travellers on the Brand Highway - for a cup of coffee
and/or a dip in the ocean.

Main
street of Dongara, Moreton Terrace, is lined with giant Moreton Bay
Fig Trees that were planted in 1906 by the Irwin Road Board at a cost
of 12 shillings and 4 pence ($1.63). The trees are National Trust classified
and form a shady canopy over the Terrace. Old mill still stands on the
Brand Highway and, despite the fact that it is not operational for a
long time now, is still attracting several dozen pigeons. For more information

Shire Internet page. Please click on the image to enlarge it.
