Jerdacuttup is a small town in Western Australia east-south-east of Perth between Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. At the 2006 census, Jerdacuttup had a population of six. John Forrest explored the area in 1870 and spelt the word as ''Jerdicutup'', the area was later surveyed in 1875 by C Price who recorded the name of the area as ''Jerdicat'' and ''Verdicat''. Jerdacuttup is an Aboriginal word of unknown meaning. During the 1960s the south-east of Western Australia was opened for agricultural purposes and the town was developed as a supply centre for the region. The government gazetted the townsite in 1966. The dominant agricultural industry in the area is sheep grazing and cereal cropping with cattle grazing and lupin cropping to a lesser extent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jerdacuttup Land Resource and capability study )〕 The town is a receival site for Cooperative Bulk Handling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CBH receival sites )〕 The Jerdacuttup River is situated about 16 km to the west of the townsite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our page in history – Welcome to Jerdacuttup )〕 Australian underground band The Triffids referenced the town in the song "Jerdacuttup Man", from the album Calenture. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerdacuttup, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
