Mandurah

An hour south of Perth lies an aquatic playground that boasts an estuary twice the size of Sydney Harbour.

Mandurah is all about water – beaches, rivers, the estuary, wetlands and lakes.

Mandurah is home to the largest residential population of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins in Western Australia and blue swimmer crabs.

The area is renowned for its excellent crabbing.

Crabbing season opens every year on December 1 through to the end of August.

Inland from Mandurah, you will find walking trails in forests and charming inland pubs.
