About Glenoran

Glenoran is a quiet rural locality in the Shire of Manjimup, located in Western Australia's South West region approximately 280 kilometres south of Perth. The locality covers around 248 square kilometres of lush forest country, with the Donnelly River flowing through from north to south before turning west into the Greater Beedelup National Park, which occupies the south-western portion of the locality. With a 2021 Census population of 97 residents across 40 dwellings, Glenoran is a sparsely populated area defined by towering karri forest and a handful of rural properties.

Glenoran is well regarded by bushwalkers and nature lovers for the iconic Glenoran Pool, a wide, tranquil reach of the Donnelly River that was once used as the local swimming hole by the group settlement community that established the area. Nearby, the Four Aces — four ancient karri trees estimated to be over 230 years old — and the One Tree Bridge, a massive felled karri that once spanned the Donnelly River, draw visitors from across the South West. The Karri Glade Chalets and the broader Donnelly River village precinct offer visitor accommodation, while walking trails link these attractions through stands of magnificent old-growth forest. Glenoran sits within the Warren-Blackwood state electorate and on the traditional land of the Noongar people.

Glenoran falls under postcode 6258 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
