Brunswick Junction is a town in the South West of Western Australia along the South Western Highway, between Harvey and Bunbury. ==History== The Brunswick River which runs just north of the town was named by John Septimus Roe in 1830, and was most probably named after the Duke of Brunswick who Governor Stirling served under while in command of HMS ''Brazen'' in 1813 off the coast of the Netherlands. Stirling named a number of Western Australian features after his former navy colleagues. The first farm in the area, "Alverstoke", started in 1842 by Marshall Clifton, was producing wheat, barley and potatoes within a few years. A bridge was built over the Brunswick River at Australind to give settlers in the area easier access to what was then the main community in the Harvey District. In 1893, when the Perth-Bunbury railway was completed, no-one lived in the present-day townsite, but the Brunswick Farmers' Association was formed, with a post office and school operating nearby. In 1898, a junction was opened south of the river when the line to Collie opened, and a railway station was built.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Local Towns - Brunswick ) 〕 The population of the town was 68 (38 males and 30 females) in 1898. The towns centre underwent a significant upgrade in 2011 as part of the Royalties for Regions program, a dairy themed playground, landscaping and an underground power hub were all part of the 380,000 project that was opened by Brendon Grylls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brunswick Junction, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
