Port Mandurah Canals Series
1990 saw the start of the construction of the canal development on the Western side of the Mandurah Estuary on what used to be farmland. In 6 stages over the following years the area was transformed from farmland to multi-million dollar home land. In between the mansions there are vestiges of times past.
This series of caches will take you on a circular route of about 3.5 km that visits these islands of history that have been preserved in amongst the canals.
Park near the bridge at S32 32.165' E115 42.977' and do the series then take a leisurely stroll over the bridge to one of the many coffee shops on the foreshore as a reward.

MARY McLARTY
This park is situated between Mary St & McLarty St.
It is not known who Mary St is named after but it is thought to have been a member of either the McLarty or the Sutton Family.
McLarty St is named after the McLarty family who were part of the second wave of immigrants to the Peel region, initially at the failed Singelton Scheme and ultimately near Pinjarra on the banks of the Murray River, where their original home Blythewood still stands. The McLarty family were prominent players in the Peel region in its formative years and are still involved in farming and the Peel community today.
