Wilyabrup is a locality in the Margaret River wine region, in the local government area of the City of Busselton. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 180.[1] It has the highest concetration of premium wine producers in the region, and also contains the Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs, which are used for rock-climbing and abseiling.[2]
The name "Wilyabrup" (also spelt "Willyabrup") comes from the local Wilyabrup Brook, which first appeared on planning documents in 1865, and may be derived from "Worlyabaraap", a Noongar word meaning "northern sky".[3] The area was developed in the 1920s as part of the Group Settlement Scheme, with the construction of a hall beginning in 1922 and a school on the site in 1928; the school was destroyed by fire in 1954.[4][5] Wine began to be grown there in the 1960s and 1970s, with Vasse Felix and Cullen Wines being the first vineyards in Wilyabrup.[4] The area was gazetted as a bounded locality in 1987, having previously been a postal district.[3]
