No.2 Toodyay Pioneer’s Arboretum
In 1979 the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club marked the State’s 150th anniversary of European settlement with the establishment of an arboretum in Toodyay. It was dedicated to the European pioneers of the district and was located next to Gumley’s Mill which had closed down in the 1970s. Mainly Western Australian eucalypts were planted on land leased by the Shire of Toodyay from Westrail.
Further plantings were carried out in 1988 to commemorate the Bicentenary of Australia. A brass plaque was unveiled to mark the occasion.
More trees were added to the arboretum the following year and a catalogue was produced in 1992. This booklet is available today from the Toodyay Visitors’ Centre, although it should be noted that currently the numbering of the trees is not in situ and not all of the specimens may be present.
