Discovering Coodanup's Past

The name "Coodanup" has a bit of a mystery! We don't know exactly where it came from. However, back in 1836, a person named Lieutenant Henry Bunbury wrote something interesting. He noted that the local Noongar people called the mouth of the Serpentine River "Colanup." This suggests the name might have come from the area's original Indigenous inhabitants.
