Yarloop, located in Western Australia's Peel region (postcode 6218), is a small historic town with a rich heritage rooted in timber and railway industries. Established in the late 19th century, it was once a bustling hub for timber milling, with its workshops and steam engines now preserved as part of the Yarloop Workshops Museum. The town is surrounded by lush forests and farmland, offering a peaceful, rural lifestyle. However, Yarloop faced significant devastation during the Waroona-Yarloop bushfires in 2016, which destroyed much of the town. Since then, the community has been rebuilding, showcasing resilience and a commitment to preserving its historical charm.
