Dolphin City Aborigines, who roamed through the bush looking for food and spearing fish from the three rivers flowing into the estuary, had many meeting places. One of which was known as Mandja, near the mouth of what is now known as Peel Inlet. Mandurah had City Status conferred upon it in 1990 and the current population is over 40,000, a bit more than the 50 souls who settled here in 1830. The sleeping little village who in summer would see a great influx of holiday-makers from the Goldfields and farming districts, are now changing fast. Perth and Fremantle is only an hours commute away and many city workers are now living here.
Tourists still come in their thousands.
To chase the famous blue manna crabs and prawns who use the estuary as their breeding grounds, to fish, to ply the abundant waterways in their boats, to dive off the countless reefs, and to see the Mandurah Dolphins.
