Mandurah is a popular resort at the mouth of Peel Inlet. This location is a famous holiday resort at a distance of 60 kms to the south of Fremantle. The place provides three rivers, 150 kms of inland shoreline and 40km beaches. Mandurah has got its name from an aboriginal word mandjar meaning 'trading place'. Thomas Peel was the first person, who tried to settle the area in 1829. He had an ambitious migration scheme.
The main attraction of the resort is the Peel Inlet, forming a conjunction of three rivers, the Murray, Serpentine and Harvey. It is an enormous inland waterway with over 150 km of shoreline. The resort houses wonderful species of birds and fish and hence, these activities are best suited to this region. Lakes Clifton and Preston lie 20 km to the south and are long and narrow and run parallel to the coast. These lakes are conducive for bird watching.
Activities Include: Boating, swimming, water skiing, fishing, crabbing and Cray fishing.
