Dongara and its nearby twin town of Port Denison is the self-proclaimed lobster capital of WA with its off shore reefs supporting a profitable industry. The start of the season is 1 Nov with the Blessing if the Fleet in many of the WA coastal towns.
The town is a very pretty place with old Moreton Bay figs lining the main street and many historic buildings which have been lovingly restored and are lived in. The two towns have been popular retirement destinations for farmers of the surrounding rural areas. The above shot is of the Royal Steam Flour Mill built about 1894 and it ground wheat from surrounding farms until 1935. It is currently being restored.

This is a former bank building, now a residential property. The left side of the building is a typical bank facade and it is a lovely old building.
