14 visitarmadale.com.au visitarmadale.com.au 15 THE JULL FAMILY The Jull Street Mall in Armadale is named in honour of the Jull family, who played an influential role in the region’s development, most notably in 1893 when Martin Edward Jull planted a large vineyard and imported the first cabernet sauvignon and malbec grapes into WA. At its peak in 1928 the vineyard produced 800,000 gallons, but today all that’s left of the vineyard are the remnants of its terraces among the houses overlooking Armadale.

PIONEER VILLAGE While you’re visiting Armadale, take a stroll to Pioneer Village and step into the past. Walk through the replica gold mining village and imagine life for the early European settlers, then head to Ye Olde Narrogin Inn for some thoroughly contemporary fare and a hand-crafted brew.

MOONDYNE JOE In the 1860s, the Canning Valley area around present-day Roleystone was a haunt of Moondyne Joe, arguably WA’s most famous bushranger, famed for his jail-breaking skills. He even escaped from the ‘escape proof’ cell constructed for him at Fremantle Prison. Visit the Birtwistle Local Studies Library to learn more about Moondyne Joe’s exploits, or follow in his footsteps in Roley Pool Reserve where, legend has it, he used a cave in a 30-metre granite rock face as his hideout while on the run from police.

NARROGIN INN The city of Armadale grew up around the original Narrogin Inn, built in 1853 as a waypoint on the developing road network connecting Perth, Albany and Bunbury.
