Southampton Homestead, Bridgetown
Southampton Homestead (1862) on the banks of the Blackwood River and incorporating part of the Bibbulmun track is one of the oldest and most significant heritage properties in the district. It is conveniently located in the beautiful Balingup/Nannup/Bridgetown ‘golden triangle’.
