Strawberry Hill at Barmup and its collection

Strawberry Hill at Barmup
Source

Strawberry Hill, also known as Barmup, is located in the suburb of Mira Mar in Albany, Western Australia. It holds the distinction of being the first farm in Western Australia. The farm was initially established in 1827 when the first Europeans settled at King George Sound. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's agricultural history and offers a unique glimpse into the past.

Conservation and Public Access

After lying derelict for many years, the site was purchased by the Federal Government in 1956 and was then vested in the National Trust of Australia in 1964. Conservation work began shortly afterward, preserving the site's historical significance. Today, it is open to the public, offering visitors a chance to explore a piece of Western Australia's agricultural history.
