Condingup is a town and locality in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia, in the Shire of Esperance local government area, 782 kilometres (486 mi) southeast of the state capital, Perth. A small section of the locality is situated on the Southern Ocean, at the Duke of Orleans Bay, while the townsite itself is at the intersection of Fisheries Road and Orleans Bay Road. Condingup borders Cape Le Grand National Park in the south. The Coolinup Nature Reserve is located in the west of Condingup. A second townsite, Wharton, is located in the south of Condingup, on the shore of the Duke of Orleans Bay.[1][2]
At the 2016 census, it and the surrounding region had a population of 278.[3]
Condingup was declared a townsite on 3 May 1963.[4] Its name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word Kunjinup, a local wildflower. Local industries includes cattle, sheep and grain production.[5]
From the 1950s to the 1970s a range of celebrities owned property in the area including Art Linkletter, Anne Baxter and Rhonda Fleming. Linkletter helped the town establish its first school, school bus and shop.[6]
