Eastbrook is a rural locality and town of the Shire of Manjimup, located near Pemberton, in the South West region of Western Australia. The Vasse Highway forms much of the eastern border of the locality.[1] [2]

The locality of Eastbrook, like most of the Shire of Manjimup, is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4] [5]

The town of Eastbrook was established in 1922 as part of the Group Settlement Scheme and settled by former dockworkers. The townsite was gazetted in 1932.

The locality was once a stop on the Northcliffe branch railway, with a siding established in 1922.[6]
