Treasures Just South of Perth

This region of Western Australia, with more than 75 kilometers of attractive and accessible coastline, is blessed with numerous natural features of beauty, including the Peel Inlet, Harvey Estuary and associated waterways, extensive forestry areas and the Murray River Valley. It incorporates the City of Mandurah and the Shires of Boddington, Murray, Serpentine-Jarrahdale, Waroona and Harvey.

Tourism is fast becoming a driving economy, and being less than an hour's drive from Perth City helps make this region a popular tourist destination.

The city of Mandurah just 70 km. south of Perth, with its luxury holiday and retirement homes, is the marine playground of Western Australia. Mandurah is also the gateway to the many other attractions of the hinterland including Pinjarra, home of the Hotham Valley Tourist Railway which offers scenic Steam Train excursions throughout the State. Further south is the Shire of Harvey – a country town and a rural community. The unique combination of rural elements make this Shire very popular for city folk because of the obvious park-like characteristics of the land.

You will  certainly discover a collection of surprising treasures when you tour this region!
