Mandurah a great place to explore and enjoy.
Mandurah. The gateway to the delightful South West. Located just 73km/40 miles south of Perth at the entrance to the magnificent Peel Inlet. Mandurah is a fairly large centre with a population of about 45 000. Mandurah is the best weekend getaway close to Perth. Check Mandurah out, take your family or a group of friends and explore the near south west of this our wonderfull state. In recent times the complexion of the township has changed. A decade ago it was a mixture of retirement town and a pleasant seaside resort. Today, while it continues to be a popular seaside resort, it is the southernmost point of Perth's ever-expanding commuter belt. The obvious starting point for anyone visiting this beautiful city is the tourist Bureau at 5 Pinjarra Road, which is literally only 50 metres/yards from the old Estuary bridge across Peel Inlet.

Halls Cottage
Halls Cottage is in Leighton Road, Halls Head
(cross the inlet from the town centre and head north) and was built in the 1830s, restored in 1975, and is a very good example of the earliest dwellings in the area.
'This wonderful old cottage is built of local limestone with a high hipped roof and two verandahs, front and back. The interior walls are made of pretty rough untrimmed limestone blocks and rubble held together by lime mortar and limewash. The interior features are
pit-sawn floor boards and open fireplaces. The buildings is typical of the period. The Historical Society has a useful sheet on the cottage.
The original owner, Henry E. Hall, was the first person to develop a fishing industry in the Mandurah district. Halls Cottage is now a museum of local history.
