Rockingham Attractions

Rockingham (pop. 30,640), immediately adjoining the industrial town of Kwinana, was named after a ship which ran aground here in the early days of the settlement.

Once an important port, Rockingham was sidelined by the development of Fremantle in 1897. Thanks to its beautiful sheltered beaches and its convenient proximity to Perth, Rockingham has enjoyed a rapid development as a holiday and commuter town in spite of the neighboring industrial installations.
