Burekup is a small town located on the South Western Highway in the South West Region of Western Australia.
The town is built on the Collie River and was originally a railway siding on the Pinjarra-Picton line that was established in 1910 and known at the time as Boorekup. Following a request from the Shire of Dardanup, the town was gazetted in 1973.
Burekup is the Indigenous Australian name for a wildflower that grows in the area.
The post office is inside the local store and you can do some grocery shopping, lotto and grab some snacks and the paper while your there. The building is quite old and a bit run down, was not able to determine the date of the building and was told by the shop attendant that the post office had always been in that position.
