Dawesville A thriving suburb of Mandurah, to the south of the town, situated on a strip of land situated between the Indian Ocean and the Harvey Estuary, on the Old Coast Road. Whereas the word "suburb" is used, Dawesville was established as an independent locality but the growth of the City of Mandurah has almost swallowed up this area. Fifty years ago a few houses were here. Popular then and today is the scenic drive detour along the Harvey Estuary |
