TAKING ITS NAME from a southern suburb in Dublin, thanks to the Irish settlers who arrived in 1842, Donnybrook has a rich history steeped in timber, gold, railways, Donnybrook stone, and thriving produce. Due to its fertile soils and perfect growing conditions, it's renowned as the apple capital of Western Australia. Today, you can eat your way through the region with quaint roadside stalls selling seasonal local produce. Make sure you stop along the way at the impressive wineries dispersed throughout the region. South-east you’ll find the lovely little town that is Balingup. With its streets lined with friendly scarecrows and stunning scenery no matter what time of the year, this special place is an inspiration to many artisans and romantics alike.
