The property now known as Peninsula Farm was originally several small holdings on the Maylands Peninsula. These included the Clarkson’s farm known as Foggathorpe Farm.
The people connected with these small holdings had all arrived in the colony on the Tranby.
Residents of the Swan River Colony soon referred to the area as Peninsula Farm.
Maylands Historical and Peninsula Association acknowledges the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, live, and learn. We acknowledge that we tell the stories of Noongar Country and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
