Broomehill

History

The town of Broomehill was established after the completion of the Great Southern Railway in 1889. Prior to this, Eticup, a coach stop on the old Albany Road (now Broomehill-Kojonup Road) was the only town in the area. At the gate of ‘Eticup’ farm there is a plaque identifying the layout of the town. It is hard to imagine that this once thriving community with stores, an inn, blacksmiths and dwellings, packed up and moved 8km east to establish the new town site of Broomehill.

Options are to follow the original Holland Track by 4WD or travel the Holland Way on gravel roads either 2WD or 4WD (we recommend that you check at the Shire during wet periods before setting off). Brochures are available from the Shire.
