Mandurah
Mandurah, apart from being one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Western Australia, is home
to performing arts centers, cinema complexes, salient waterways and small docks, restaurants, cafes as well as holiday accommodations that have contributed to the resort town being one of the top tourist destinations worldwide. The centre of Mandurah consists of the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary and covers an area of 173.5 square kilometers along with a strip of land less than 10 km in width. Mandurah belongs to the Peel Region and shares the similar Mediterranean climate of Perth. Things to See and Do
Restaurants, craft and souvenir shops, art galleries and cultural buildings are part of the town's staple attractions. However, Mandurah is an especially ideal place for spending the weekend, especially for adventurous travelers. The blue green waters of Mandjar Bay are a highlight with the adjacent waterfront providing the perfect ambience for a barbeque or for some exquisite dinner at the locality. Mandurah also offers pleasure cruises in the wide calm expanses of the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary and beyond, while houseboats on the Mandurah Estuary make for a blissful stay, particularly for couples seeking a romantic getaway. For the nature lover, the Yalgorup National Park on Mandurah's southern boundary provides access to Lake Clifton that hosts a colony of living fossils known as thrombolites while the more artistically inclined may appreciate a visit to the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
Getting to Mandurah
Mandurah is approximately 75km south of Perth. Visitors traveling by car can take the inland scenic route beside the Darling Range, or the more direct and faster Kwinana Freeway route by following the signs to Mandurah. Various bus and train services also operate from Perth to the region.
