Uncover Leschenault’s hidden past on the new Heritage Trail. Wander past 1830s farms, beautiful paperbark trees and take in the stunning views of the Leschenault Estuary!
Start at the Leschenault Peninsula and then wind your way back to Australind on the Leschenault Heritage Trail to uncover stories of legendary Irish escapees, Indian Water Buffalo, the cooking family, and infamous hippy camps.
The Leschenault Estuary and surrounding rivers have been home to the Elaap clan group of the Noongar Wardandi tribe or Yoongan Jarli Elaap (People of Elaap) and the Cultaa Yoongan Jarli (Mullet people) for more than 45,000 years.
Established in the 1840s, Leschenault, along with its neighbour Australind, is also one of the State’s first settled rural communities.
