Located 3 hours south of Perth Augusta is one of Western Australia’s oldest settlements, officially founded in 1830 and named after Princess Augusta, the daughter of King George III. Located at the mouth of the Blackwood River, the area was originally inhabited by the Wadandi people of the Noongar Nation, who have cared for this land for tens of thousands of years. Early European settlers were drawn to Augusta for its rich natural resources, particularly timber from the surrounding forests. The town developed slowly, shaped by industries such as logging, farming, and fishing. Over time, Augusta became known for its pristine coastline, maritime heritage, and relaxed charm. Today, it remains a quiet yet captivating destination, offering visitors a deep connection to both cultural heritage and the natural beauty of Western Australia's South West.
