History
Description
Most of the locality is covered in open jarrah, marri and wandoo woodland, with some areas of dense understorey vegetation. Nearby Morangup Hill (31°39′31″S 116°18′55″E), the main feature of a reserve managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) on the edge of the Avon Valley National Park, is a granite peak providing extensive views over the surrounding area and is home to several species of birds including the square-tailed kite.[5] The Red Swamp Brook, which runs through Bailup, feeds a significant wetland area.
Transport
The main road route through the area is Toodyay Road (State Route 50). Bailup Road links Bailup to Wooroloo further south.[6] No public transport is available.
