Amelup is a small town in the Great Southern region of Western Australia located on Chester Pass Road. The Amelup service station is located 9 km North of the Stirling Range National Park situated between the Stirling Range and Borden.[2]
The area was once a centre of the Sandalwood trade, with cutters working the area in the 1890s. Sandalwood Road is a reminder of the town's past. The town is mostly known for its "CAUTION NUDISTS CROSSING" sign on the main street.[3]
The area was opened for selection in 1928 with over 400 acres being allocated.[4] Most land is now used for cereal cropping and sheep grazing for both wool and meat production.[5]
