Falcon lies on a narrow strip of land between the vast Indian Ocean and the shimmering waters of the Peel-Harvey Estuary. It lies 8.8 km south-west of Mandurah, WA (from Mandurah, WA: bearing 219°T), and is situated 5.5 km south-south-west of Halls Head. The air here carries the sharp tang of salt, a constant reminder of the ocean's proximity, and the low scrubby vegetation, resilient against the coastal winds, clings to the sandy soil. The terrain is generally flat, a gentle sloping towards the water on either side, with dunes sculpted by the prevailing south-westerly breezes. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-present cloud cover, seems to bleach the colours from the landscape, leaving behind a palette of pale greens, dusty browns, and the endless blue of the sky and sea, a quiet beauty that unfolds with a patient, unassuming grace.
Historically, Falcon’s fortunes have been tied to the bounty of the ocean and the estuary. While not an ancient settlement, its development accelerated with the growth of Mandurah, its neighbouring hub, transforming it from a quiet coastal retreat into a bustling residential area. The local economy now leans heavily on tourism and the service industries that support a growing population drawn to the coastal lifestyle. Fishing, though perhaps less dominant than in earlier times, still holds a place in the local consciousness, with the estuary a vital nursery for many species. The distinctive character of Falcon is its duality – the wilder, more exposed face to the west where the ocean crashes onto sandy beaches, and the sheltered, tranquil embrace of the estuary to the east, a haven for birdlife and a playground for watersports enthusiasts.
