About Falcon
Falcon is a southern suburb of Mandurah, located southwest of Mandurah's central area and with frontage to both the Indian Ocean and the Peel-Harvey Estuary. Originally known as Miami, the suburb was renamed after Falcon Bay on 13 November 1967. Many of the streets in the adjoining estate were named after yachts; "Falcon" itself was the name of a yacht, the crew of which won a silver medal in the 12 m2 Sharpie yacht races at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.
