Peninsula Farm

Located on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) in the now urban suburb of Maylands, Peninsula Farm is one of the first farms in the colony and is thought to be the earliest Perth metropolitan residence still standing. 

Peninsula Farm tells many stories - of connection to Country and family, of changes to land use over time and of the constancy of the Derbal Yerrigan. 

Explore the house and wander the grounds to enjoy the beautiful views of the riverscape and imagine what life was like in the first days of the Swan River Colony. See full place details on the National Trust website.
