About Alfred Cove
Alfred Cove is a residential suburb in the City of Melville, Western Australia, located 13 kilometres from the Perth CBD on the Swan River. Named after Alfred Waylen, born at Point Walter in 1833, who was granted Swan Location 74 covering most of present-day Alfred Cove and Myaree, the suburb contains important mudflats, seagrass beds and intertidal vegetation. The area is a significant habitat for migratory wading birds travelling from Siberia, Mongolia and Asia, protected under international agreements. Tompkins Park and Waylen Bay are popular foreshore locations.
