The Name
Jarrah is a tough, beautiful and resilient timber that grows only in the South West region of Western Australia. Waroona was born out of the Jarrah industry in the 1890s. The land that Jarrah Cottage is built on was once part of the original timber mill facility that operated from the 1890s to World War 2. The structural framing of the floor, walls, and roof of Jarrah Cottage are constructed of Jarrah, and the floorboards are also Jarrah. The bench seat on the front porch is made from structural Jarrah that was recovered from a historic timber drying shed that was located on the property.
