Gnowangerup’s southern boundary is in the Stirling Range National Park, a growing eco-tourism destination drawing an estimated 175,000 people each year, attracted by abundant wildflowers and the highest peaks in the southern half of Western Australia.
The Horsepower Highway, a 75km stretch of road running from Broomehill through Gnowangerup, is lined with colourful historic tractors, nodding to the agricultural history of the region.
The Shire of Gnowangerup is 354km from Perth and 140km from Albany in the centre of the Great Southern, and features three towns: Gnowangerup, Ongerup and Borden. The Shire’s 100,000 hectares of farmland support a strong livestock industry and cropping enterprises in wheat, lupins, barley, canola, clover seed, peas, oats and faba beans.
With a population of 1,215 and a land area of 4,265 sq km, Gnowangerup contributes $136.9 million of the Great Southern’s gross regional product. Agriculture is the main employer.
