Nannup's history prior to European settlement is reflected
by many of the geographical names in the district; Darradup
(place of Parrots), Jalbarragup, Barrabup and many more.
The word "Nannup" is an indigenous word identifying
a "stopping place", so Nannup's reputation as a
desirable place to gather, and share with friends, goes back
a long way.
Nannup Today: Nannup
is known as the "The Garden Village" and every August
sees the presentation of the Nannup
Flower and Garden Festival. This dazzling festival includes
the Daffodil and Tulip weekends, when the village streets
are alive with tulips and daffodils and many associated artistic
activities are organised, including the annual Nannup Art
and Photography Exhibition, gardening and floricultural workshops
and many other creative activities.. A "Must Do"
for all keen gardeners and botanical photographers.
November is when the roses bloom and the Regional
Rose Festival gives proud growers the opportunity to display
the spectacular rewards of their efforts. Workshops, demonstrations
and fabulous displays ensure a fitting celebration of spring
in the South West.
During wildflower season, the surrounding countryside comes
alive with colour and atmosphere, perfect for bushwalking,
touring, canoeing or just kicking back and enjoying the peace and tranquility.
Select from a wide range of accommodation
options catering from the friendly comfort of backpacking
retreats to the grandeur of luxury country lodges. Sit back
with a good wine and look up at night... you'll remember the
wonder a clear sky used to spark.
