Founded in July 1924 WA's first branch of the Country Women's Association (CWA) was formed in Nungarin. The CWA set up its first rest rooms at Donnybrook in 1928 and later that year a res room was built at Baandee. The first CWA branch in Yunderup was founded at the home of Mrs Kiesey on Mill Island (now known as Cooleenup Island) in 1934. Mrs Tatham offered a cottage to be used as a clubhouse and mrs Kiesey sold a shortbread recipe at a penny a copy and raised a shilling for club funds. In May 1939, this branch disbanded due to lack of members. In 1949 a meeting was held to reconstitute the branch. The meeting was opened by Mrs Ross McLarty, wife of the them Premier. CWA Hall, North Yunderup was built in 1955, an a block of land that was donated by Dr Pearson. The branch has made rugs for donation to nursing homes in Pinjarra and Mandurah, knitted teddy bears for the St. John Ambulance centre in Pinjarra, and knitted cotton bandages for leprosy patients in Malawi.
