Description

The name is thought by some to be an Aboriginal word meaning water hole but another source says it is the name of the bob-tail lizard. A large variety of names were suggested for this area including The Delta, Venice, Murray, Yoondooroop and Isleworth. The Aboriginal name was selected and was gazetted as Yundurup in 1896. The current spelling was used from 1973.

The site is located on the delta at the mouth of the Murray River near Mandurah.
