Car Hire Manjimup - Hamilins Garage - Mini guide to Manjimup - Hamilins Garage

Manjimup is a small town located south of Perth, on the western side of Australia. Even though it's a small city, it remains the main regional center for one of the largest shires in the country. While the population is scarcely more than four-thousand people, Manjimup has been one of the most hotly contested areas in the country for a long time.

Though it was first settled in 1856 by a timber cutter, it wasn't until 1910 that Manjimup was declared an official town. In 1911, the railway arrived, linking Manjimup to Perth, more than 300 kilometers away. The town's largest population growth came at the close of the first World War, when the Group Settlement Scheme brought many people to Manjimup. Even though the land was difficult to clear for farming, dairy farming was the primary way of life until the collapse of the dairy markets in the 1930s.

As it started in the mid-19th century, timber has become the primary industry for the town. While dairy farms still play a major role in the town, much of the town's crop of apples is exported to places like India and other parts of Asia. Strangely, because the climate closely resembles that of parts of France, black truffles have become a major export from Manjimup, as well. Even though the popularity of Manjimup truffles is confined primarily to restaurants in Australia, there is a growing interest from restaurants in France and the UK, as well.

While there is public transportation available to Perth and other points north of Manjimup, there are few opportunities to find a quality car hire. The car hire options that are available in Manjimup tend to be independent operators. South West Coach Lines provides bus service daily from Manjimup to Perth, so it is possible to travel frequently between the two cities during the week.
