Birchmont is a rural locality of the Shire of Murray in the Peel Region of Western Australia, located on the eastern shore of the Harvey Estuary.[1] [2]

The locality is on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation.[3] The Pindjarup language is now considered extinct but the Noongar people remain present in the region.[4]

The locality is home to the heritage-listed Birchmont Homestead, which was constructed in 1862 and is located on the shore of Lake McLarty.[5]
