History Donnybrook is a town situated between Boyanup and Kirup on the South Western Highway, 210 kilometres south of Perth, Western Australia. The town is the centre of apple production in Western Australia. The town is also known for its picturesque abundance of English Oak trees, as well as for the Apple Fun Park, a large outdoor playground in the centre of town. The Noongar Aboriginals were the first humans to live in the area, and they named it Donnybrook. European settlers arrived in 1842 and called it Donnybrook after a suburb of Dublin. In 1897, Richard Hunter discovered gold about 6 kilometres south of the Donnybrook townsite. A mini gold rush occurred and the government declared a new town called Goldtown. From 1901 census records, over 200 gold miners were camped on the goldfields. The excitement was short-lived however, and the Hunters Venture mine closed in August 1903. Gold was worked during the Great Depression by locals Laurie and Foster Payne, then re-pegged and explored during the 1980s and again from 2004-5.
