The townsite of Wonnerup is located south of Perth and east of Busselton. It was gazetted a townsite in 1856, deriving its name from the nearby Wonnerup Inlet. The name is Aboriginal, and has been shown on maps of the region since 1839. The meaning of the name is "place of the woman's digging or fighting stick"; the Noongar word for fighting stick is ''wonna'', while the suffix ''-up'' denotes ''place of''. The wonna was made from the peppermint tree, ''Agonis flexuosa'', a coastal native found only in the south-west, and was a common trade item of the Noongar people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Water Authority - Aboriginal social water requirements for the Southern Blackwood Plateau )〕 Wonnerup was on the Bunbury to Busselton railway line, it was the point where the Nannup Branch Railway started on its route to Nannup after 1909. Before that it was part of the earlier 1879 railway and the 1898-1903 W.A. Timber Company railway line. ==See also== * Wonnerup House 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「Wonnerup, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
