Our Rich Heritage

Steeped in history, the Murray River region holds a significant place in the colonization of Western Australia when Thomas Peel established a settlement at the mouth of the Murray River in 1830. As the young colony was established, industry and indigenous culture collided. Our heritage is one of entrepreneurial pioneers, dark stories and cultural reconciliation.

A River Runs Through It

The Serpentine River shapes the landscape as it slithers its way down from high up in the Darling Ranges, down the Scarp, flood plains, pools, back waters and lakes, and disappears into the Peel Inlet. Water courses through the veins of our region. In the past it has fueled industry and today is the lifeblood of our aquatic playground.
