Armadale (Western Australia)

Armadale is a town of about 12,000 inhabitants in the Australian state of Western Australia. It is located 27 kilometers southeast of the center of the capital Perth, and is therefore at the edge of the metropolitan area. In the center of Armadale two main roads, the South Western and Albany Highway connecting the south of the state with Perth meet. Armadale is the seat of the homonymous administrative area ( LGA) City of Armadale.

In the center of town there is an unusually large and old Eucalyptus marginata tree, the Old Jarrah Tree. Its age is estimated to be 400 to 800 years. Due to the extensive forestry and deforestation in the Perth area in the 19th century, such trees are rare.
