Boyup Brook Visitors Centre
Time Capsule Opening
Last Saturday, 1st May 2021, a small crowd gathered in the gardens of the Boyup Brook Visitor Centre to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the building (originally the Agricultural Hall) and to reminisce over the contents of the time capsule, commemorating the history of the Boyup Brook Tourism Association. This event should have occurred in 2020 but had to be postponed due to Covid.
A welcome speech was given by BBTA Chairperson, Shirley Broadhurst, then Interpretive Signage recognising wildflowers and mineral heritage in our district was unveiled by Shire President, Richard Walker. After unveiling an Honour Board, Harvey Dickson also opened the doors of the Centre to commemorate the first opening of the front door in 1910 by his grandmother, Mrs GF Dickson. A sumptuous afternoon tea followed.

Astrophotography in Boyup BrookAstrophotographers often refer to this time of the year, from mid autumn to mid spring, as the “Milky Way Season”! That’s because, during this time of year, we look towards the centre or core of our Milky Way Galaxy. It’s dense with stars and stretches across the dark night sky in country WA. Astrophotographers love it!
Boyup Brook is a magnificent spot for Astrophotography in early evenings in June, the Milky Way has risen from the south east and stretches right across the sky to the west. By July, August and September, the core or heart of the Milky Way is high in the southern sky. Book into one of our Farmstay Accommodations and Enjoy the nightsky's of Boyup Brook. |
