Pingelly is a quiet, rural service centre surrounded by a rural area which produces wheat, barley, sheep and cattle. While the town is pleasant and unassuming the surrounding area is known for its remarkable remnants of the flora and fauna which existed before the district was farmed. Location Pingelly is located 154 km south-east of Perth and 297 m above sea level. Origin of Name By 1873 maps of the area were referring to Pingeculling Rocks. It is believed that "pinge" was a local Aboriginal word meaning "small gully" and "culling" was water. The small settlement became known as "Pinge Gully" or "Pinge Culling" but when the railway reached the town in the late 1880s the spelling became "Pingelly".
