Awarded Gold as Top Tourism Town in Western Australia and Bronze Top Tourism Town in Australia in 2022.

OUR HISTORY

In 1828 'Swan River Mania' inspired Englishman Thomas Peel to bring a number of workmen, equipment and stores to Western Australia in exchange for a grant of land. The contract stipulated that Peel must arrive in the colony by 1 November 1829, however the ship Gilmore carrying Peel and his followers did not arrive until mid-December and Peel's original land grant was forfeited.

Peel built a small settlement named Clarence, at what is known today as Woodman's Point to await the arrival of two other ships the Hooghly and Rockingham which carried settlers, equipment and stores also belonging to peel. After many mishaps and plagued by ill health Peel eventually brought his remaining settlers to the area known today as Mandurah.

At that time, Mandurah was a day's journey by sea and two or more days by horse and cart, traveling across very rough country. The area remained isolated until 1850 when a road was built and a ferry punt constructed across the estuary.

Thomas Peel died in 1865, and Mandurah continued to expand slowly over the years, with the main industries of the township being fishing and fruit growing, as well as canning factories to store the produce. Charles Tuckey established a canning factory on what is now Mandurah Terrace.

The railway line from Perth to Pinjarra was completed in 1893, and Mandurah's reputation as a favored holiday destination was quickly made. Mandurah continued to prosper with the fishing and canning industry and a timber mill, established in approximately 1911, provided jobs for local people.

The mill closed in approximately 1926, and as the canning industry declined after the death of Charles Tuckey in 1912, due in part to the high costs associated with transportation and competition from canned fish imports from overseas, the main industry in Mandurah became tourism. History records that 'goldfields' people and later 'wheatbelt' people patronised Mandurah largely because of its huge catches of fish. At this point, Mandurah was estimated to have not more than 150 permanent residents.

Sutton’s Farm

Today C Mandurah stands on the grounds of the original Sutton Farm. You will notice directly next door to us that Sutton Farm is still visible with the remains of the Heritage Listed Buildings. These buildings consist of a homestead (1881), single men's quarters (1870) and barn (1870). Initially, it was the home of Eleanor and John Sutton, who arrived on the Hindoo in 1839. They are considered prominent settlers in the Mandurah area from the first decades of the colony. Their nephew Henry Sutton took over the farm in the 1860s when Eleanor was widowed, and her son had died. It operated as the town dairy and was one of the few regular places of employment in the late nineteenth century.

Hall’s Cottage

This five-roomed, single-storey stone building dates back to 1833. Initially it was the home of Henry Hall and family, early settlers in Mandurah, but went on to be associated with many others involved in the formation of Mandurah. It is considered the only intact example of an early settler's cottage in the Mandurah area. Open on Sunday’s 10am - 3pm.

**Halls Head cottage is situated a short 5-minute walk from C Mandurah on Leighton Place
