Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Just an hour south of Perth, Mandurah is a vibrant city noted for its waterways and holiday atmosphere. The city is set around the beautiful waters of Mandjar Bay.
At night people like to hang out at the waterfront to enjoy a barbeque or dine at the many cafes. During the day the foreshore comes alive with walkers, picnickers, paddlers, people fishing and crabbing and children at play.
Boats and charter cruises head out from the city to view friendly dolphin schools, pelican and other bird breeding sanctuaries, the best crabbing spots, or simply the wide calm expanses of Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary and beyond, to the Indian Ocean. Houseboats are available for hire on the estuary or to enjoy the Murray River.
Mandurah's southern boundary is Yalgorup National Park where Lake Clifton contains a colony of living wonder fossils known as thrombolites. A walkway across the lakes' shallows allows close-up viewing.
Help
A little general household support and an extra hand with walking our dog family as we have 3 very friendly cross breed staffies.
