Distinguished and Famous people from Waroona
🐎 John Fouracre
John Fouracre established a stone house and wayside inn beside the Old Coast Road in the 1850s. Stockyards and barns across the road held relay horses for the Bunbury mail coach, giving the property a role in the district's transport and communication. He later acquired land at Drakesbrook and moved nearer Waroona. The inn's history recalls a journey broken into stages by horse teams, meals and places to rest. Fouracre's local contribution combined farming and accommodation with a service needed by travellers well before modern highways made the same trip routine.
🌾 Leah Fouracre
Leah Fouracre remained at the family's old coastal property after her father and other relatives moved away. By the early twentieth century she was operating Peppermint Grove as a farm rather than an inn. The historical society remembers her skill in bushcraft and the practical help she gave new settler Augusta Haub in learning country life. Her isolation did not mean a complete absence of neighbours and visitors; relatives and passing travellers still called. She died when the homestead burned in 1907. Her story preserves a woman's farming work behind a property usually introduced through its founding publican.
🗣️ Reverend Robert Jetta
Robert Jetta moved with his family to Waroona in the early 1980s after earlier years at Kellerberrin and Pingelly. As a Uniting Church minister and local Elder, he became involved in mentoring and community leadership. His work with the Waroona Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation forms part of an organisation developed from Bruce Jetta's earlier community work. Cultural knowledge, advocacy and practical support sit together in its activities. Although he later lived at Yarloop, his Waroona years and continuing regional work give a clear connection to the shire and its Aboriginal community.
