Constructed from 1903
For historical and architectural reasons, this is a significant site of which the extant buildings are the most important material evidence and as such are still in use.
A large two-storey house (originally with two-storey verandahs). It is characteristic internally and externally of the grand style of architecture at the turn of the century, the only example of its type in the region. Removal of the verandahs and restoration of the facades has resulted in an Italianate appearance, which belies the original architectural character.
Cheriton was originally settled by W.L. Brockman and is therefore synonymous with the settlement and opening up of the Gingin region. A syndicate of northwest pastoralists, Gooch, Harper, Edgar and Wedge, resettled in this area. George Gooch built this house.

A landmark to the south of the town. It has geological significance.
At the summit of a hill just to the south of Gingin township is a disused Quarry. The fossils of plants and animals such as molluscs and foraminifera are found in a layer of chalk. Greensands (Glauconite) deposit mined in 1932
A small limestone hill just to the south of Gingin town site. A part of SL 103 surveyed by J.W. Gregory in 1844 The first owner was Richard Edwards and then his son, Joshua Edwards Coolyena, the Aboriginal name, was described as very rich with grasses and native yams (Warrine) with chalk and limestone underlying. Although the limestone deposit had long been known, Mr. W.B. Gordon, an amateur geologist, recognised the Greensands (Glauconite) deposit. Mr. Ralph Hill mined the glauconite in 1932. It was blasted out and trucked to the railway station and then to the Swan. The glauconite was used to soften 'hard water.' In later years the Quarry was used as a shooting range and more recently has been mined for agricultural lime. The limestone contains fossils such as molluscs and foraminifera and sharks teeth and has been a popular place for school geology excursions.

The Roads Board Office has social significance for its long running association with local Government and decision making in the local community.
The Roads Board Office has historical significance for the role it played in the development of the Shire of Gingin.
The Roads Board Office is rare for its aesthetic qualities.
Constructed materials are burnt bricks and a corrugated iron roof. There is one main room with an enclosed front verandah and rear facilities.
An election to form the Gingin Road Board was held in 1893 and the inaugral meeting was held in the Granville Hotel. Later meetings were held in John Dewar’s Hotel and the Good Templars Hall. Meetings were moved to the new Agricultural Hall between 1900 and 1903 and then it was decided to rent a house in Brockman Street, opposite the school. Early in 1910 plans were put forward to build a new Roads Board Office at an estimated cost of 250 pounds. Eventually Mr Tom’s tender of 310 pounds was accepted as this was the cheapest one. On April 29, 1911 Mr SF Moore MLA officially opened the new office and the Gingin Road Board at last had a permanent home. Construction materials are burnt bricks and an iron roof. There is one main room with an enclosed front verandah and rear facilities. In recent years it has been used as a Pre-school centre, a playgroup and for Red Cross meetings. It belongs to the Shire of Gingin.

The inaugural meeting of the Ging in Road Board was held in 1893 in Granville Hotel, later at John Dewar's Railway Hotel, and the Good Templars Hall, before the Agricultural Hall between 1900-1903 when a house in Brockman Street was rented for the purpose. On 29 April 1911 Mr Moore, MLA opened the new office comprising one main room with an enclosed front veranda and rear facilities. In 1968, new administration offices were constructed for the Shire of Gingin and the building was no longer utilised for the local government activities.

Constructed from 1886
A historical Gingin building.
The house contains 5 main rooms and a passage from the front door. A good example of the use of local limestone in rubble stone walls with dressed stone quoins. The house has asymmetrically spaced windows to the front facade and these are unusual timber framed with small panes and sliding construction. Another interesting feature is the saw tooth bargeboard detail. Built out of local materials by the Hill family in 1886, for their own use. When the house was renovated in 2007, it was converted into 4 main rooms with the fifth room being divided into an Office, bathroom and storage room. The previous kitchen and bathroom on the back verandah have been demolished and replaced with new.
The original owner was Frederick Felix Hill who was married to Ellen Dewar. He was a Town Councillor in 1893 and worked as a contractor. F.F. Hill died in 1936 and his daughter, Clara Campbell, inherited the house. Mrs Rose Thom of Gingin now owns it. Rose Thom left the property to go into a home and later died. Her husband is also deceased. The house was renovated in 2007, when ownership was taken over by RD and IF Dewar.

This block was purchased by the Crown in c.1999 for use as a Trigonometric Station.The highest point on Eclipse Hill was named because there was an eclipse when found in the early explorations. In 1978, the mining of quartz sand began on Bare Hill. The grains of quartz are free from impurities and are very large It can be made into very strong concrete and has been used for the manufacture of roofing tiles, paving slabs etc. Yellow sand and gravel are also mined.

Constructed from 1903
The Cemetery is a high point overlooking Gingin town. Apart from head stones tracing the social history of the region, the Cemetery site is notable for its native vegetation, principally hybridated Kangaroo Paws which are unique to this site.
A small area by St Luke's Anglican Church had served Gingin as a Cemetery during the 19th Century. By 1900 this was becoming crowded so an alternative site was selected away from the houses and the Brook. Six acres in Edgar's paddock was cleared in 1903 and the first burial took place there on 19/01/1904. It followed the death of Elizabeth May Dewar, infant daughter of W.F. Dewar. An ashes pavilion with stone walls and a shingled roof was added to the Cemetery c1992.

Limestone hill which was quarried from 1890 - 1925.
This (originally) rounded hill above Gingin is typical of the erosion of chalky limestone deposits rare in Australia. This limestone is extremely rich in fossils of both plant and animal species including foraminifera, ostracods. sharks teeth and fragments of a giant mollusc called 'Inoceramus.' It is believed that the Gingin chalk belongs to the Lower Santonian Age deposits, being laid down more than 65 million years ago. Lime kilns were operating on One Tree Hill by 1898. The lime was used for agriculture, carted on drays through the town to the Railway Station This mining stopped during the First World War due to increased royalties and a labour shortage. In 1921 the W A. Cement Company began work mining the limestone and railing it to the Portland Cement Company in East Perth. The heavy drays caused damage to the town streets and the bridge, and traffic was diverted to the Stock Route through Sadler's land and the Three Bridges. This mining ceased when limestone was found closer to Perth. A radio mast serving to link Gingin, Guilderton and Lancelin was erected here in 1963/64.

In the 1930's, a nine-hole Golf Course existed in Edgar's paddock above the town. A Golf Club was formed in 1935, but this lapsed with the outbreak of war in 1939. In 1963, Mr. Jack Kitson sold 111 acres (Pt Locations 362, 431, 511, 525, 536 now called Lot 61) to the Shire of Girigin for the establishment of a Golf Course. In May 1963, a nine-hole Golf Course was ready for play and by 1966 an 18-hole course had been completed. On the 26th August 1978, new Golf Course Club Rooms were opened.

Assessment 1977 Construction 1855 Alterations/additions: blacksmiths shop and farriers shed c. 1878 This is a relic of the earliest settlement of the Gingin 'flats' country illustrating the initiative of the founder of the well-known Dewar pioneer family of the district. The homestead was sited on Gingin Brook at an important road junction where pastoral operations might be undertaken with the provision of accommodation for travellers. The two storey residence and its association outbuildings are in urgent need of repairs but the importance of the homestead cannot be overlooked.

Constructed from 1855
Beedamanup Homestead is significant for its association with John Dewar, his son, and grandson, and for the social significance of having been a wayside inn.
NO SITE INSPECTION IN 2016. It has been as described as Colonial Georgian with walls of a form of Casuarina stone, which was mined nearby. There are three big chimneys of stone and the roof was originally shingled. There are six big rooms upstairs and six downstairs with a simply constructed staircase in the center. Out buildings included a cellar, dairy, stables, and blacksmith's shop, stockyards and cow bails. One room upstairs in the northeast corner had no windows so as to exclude thieves from stores kept there.
A substantial two-storey home was built for John Dewar on the Dewar Flats and is believed to have been used as an Inn, as well as a farmhouse, as it stood on the main track north from Gingin. After the death of John Dewar in 1911, the house and surrounding land was inherited by his son and later his grandson, Maitland Dewar.
