McAlinden is a rural locality of the Shire of Boyup Brook in the South West region of Western Australia.[1] [2]
The Shire of Boyup Brook is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman (also spelled Bibbulmun or Pibelmen)[3] [4] and Kaniyang (also spelled Kaneang) people,[5] [6] both of the Noongar nation, with the locality of McAlinden located on the land of the Kaniyang people.[7] [8]
The locality contains two heritage-listed homesteads, the house and farm at 817 McAlinden Road and the Cootamundra homestead, built in 1932, with the buildings being opposite each other on McAlinden Road.[9] [10]
The north-western corner of McAlinden is home to the Greater Preston National Park, also referred to as Preston National Park, which primarily stretches across the localities of McAlinden and Noggerup.[11] [12]
