Gracetown, South Western Australia GT410DP
GT410DP
Gracetown is a small town in Western Australia. It is located 283 km south of the Perth CBD, in the Augusta-Margaret River Shire Council area on the coast at Cowaramup Bay.
The area was initially used as a holiday area and later in 1957 it was proposed that the area should be developed as a camping and caravan park. Instead the government decided that the area would be developed as a townsite. The area was surveyed in 1961 and the bulk of the townsite was planned. Sale of lots within the townsite occurred in 1963, the same year the town was gazetted.
It was named in honour of local Western Australian heroine Grace Bussell.
