Bindoon is a town 84 kilometres (52 mi) from Perth city on the Great Northern Highway within the Shire of Chittering.[2] The name Bindoon is thought to be Aboriginal in origin and to mean "place where the yams grow".[citation needed] The name has been in use in the area since 1843 when an early settler, William Brockman, named the property he had surveyed as Bindoon. The townsite was gazetted in 1953.[3]
