History

The Quinninup Tavern has played a central role in the history of the Quinninup community over the past 75 years. In 1962 a fire destroyed the mill. It could have meant the end for Quinninup, but it was decided to rebuild the mill, using new and improved technology. The milling operations continued until 1982 when the Millars closed and sold the mill. The new owners Bunnings, sold off the fixtures and machinery. In 1986 the town was purchased by a single developer. The town was split up into title holdings and houses were sold as individual residences. Karri Lake Resort was built at this time. The Quinninup Tavern continues to be a popular meeting place and restaurant for locals and visitors to the area. Refer to 16.3 for more historical notes
