Coyrecup is a rural locality of the Shire of Katanning in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Coyrecup Nature Reserve, centred around Coyrecup Lake, is located within Coyrecup.[2][3]

History

The larger eastern part of the Shire of Katanning, up to Katanning itself and including Coyrecup, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[4][5] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation.[6][7][8]

Coyrecup was once a siding on the Katanning to Pingrup railway line. The siding opened in 1912, under the name of Wurnup, was renamed to Coyrecup in 1922, and closed for good in 1985.[9][10]

The historic Holland Track passes through Coyrecup, following the Katanning-Nyabing Road, on its way to Coolgardie.[11][12]

The Coyrecup Nature Reserve was gazetted on 28 April 1967, has a size of 11.47 square kilometres (4.43 sq mi), and is located within the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee bioregions.[3][13]
