Description

 

Originally called Manjedal in 1893, the townsite was re-named Mundijong in 1897 but the railway siding was called Jarrahdale Junction. It was not until 1902 that the siding’s name was brought into line with the town.

Today it is a centre for dairy cattle, beef, cheese making and horse breeding.

Near the Albany Highway not far from the major centre of Rockingham, it is becoming a popular place to live as it still retains much of the original country charm. Sadly with more people moving into the area this is something that will gradually be lost.
