Porongurup

Porongurup is a locality of the Shire of Plantagenet in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. At the 2006 census, Porongurup had a population of 370. The name is derived from the Aboriginal place-name, and consequently arrived with no spelling as such. A common alternative spelling is Porongorup and while some maps still show this spelling, state government signs around the town use Porongurup, as does the promotion association for the region.
