Redmond West is a rural locality of the City of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The north-western corner of the locality is taken up by the south-eastern section of the Mount Lindesay National Park and the Blue Gum Creek Nature Reserve is also located within Redmond West. The Hay River passes through it and also forms its boundary in the south-west.[1] [2]

Redmond West and the City of Albany are located on the traditional land of the Minang people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4] [5] [6]

Redmond West borders the locality of Redmond, which was established as a siding on the Great Southern Railway in 1912 and gazetted as a townsite in 1916. It is thought that the town was named after the Irish Nationalist leader, John Edward Redmond.

Nature reserve

The Blue Gum Creek Nature Reserve was gazetted on 4 November 1927, has a size of 0.85km2, and is located within the Jarrah Forest bioregion.[7]
