Bindoon travel guide

Bindoon is a town located just beyond the Perth metropolitan area within the Shire of Chittering. Its post code is 6502.
Bindoon is where the majority of training and selection takes place for the Australian Special Air Service Regiment. Some of the facilities include live-firing ranges, the Brigade Special Training Facilities (MOUT) and full scale Boeing 747 mockup to simulate the storming of an airliner.
The Catholic Agricultural College in Bindoon was previously called Keaney College, however the name was changed after accusations of institutionalized cruelty to migrant and native children. In 1994, the WA parliament was presented a petition with 30,000 signatures which demanded an inquiry into the sexual and physical assault that took place in Bindoon. Other institutions run by the Christian Brothers in Castledare, Clontarf and Tardun were also named in the petition.
