A note from the Have-A-Go News, no 388. July 2024:
Mandurah started as a fishing village has been developed to a seaside resort with a difference. It's history of a great story.
The Halls family were pioneers. They were one of the first in the area in 1830 and have the name to Halls Head at the neck of the estuary.
Initially taking a back seat to the inland farming area of Pinjarrah, Mandurah has developed to be a major holiday desintation for the state.
Blessed with two rivers and many lakes, it was a natural for marinas which now border the water ways.
As it grew it needed more and better bridges. Once the main route to Bunbury it now has traffic james with local traffic.
Nicholas Reynolds the manager of Mandurah Museum will continue with the second half of his talk on the heritage of Mandurah titled The Halls of Mandurah at the July meeting of the Australian Independent Retirees at Halls Head Bowling Club, Erskine at 9.30am on July 22.
