About the region
With its sawtooth roofs, corrugated iron buildings and huge loading facilities, Kwinana is an important industrial area south of Perth. The suburban part of Kwinana is hidden from the heavy industry by huge sand dunes. The primary appeal of the area lies in the excellent Wells Park which edges Kwinana Beach, a beautiful white sandy beach which, while surrounded by industry, is ideal for swimming and fishing.
