Mills Lake is a rural locality of the Shire of Gnowangerup in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Mills Lake borders the townsite of Ongerup in the south-west. The No.2 Rabbit-proof fence once passed through the north-east of the locality.[1] [2]
Mills Lake and the Shire of Gnowangerup are located on the traditional land of the Koreng people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4]
Sections of the No.2 Rabbit-proof fence run along the north-east of Mills Lake, with the road following the former fence line still bearing the name Rabbit Proof Fence Road.[2] [5] [6]
The Cassencarry homestead, located in Mills Lake, is listed on the shire's heritage register. The homestead dates back to 1912 at its current location but was originally built in Coolgardie. From there, it was dismantled and transported by rail to Broomehill, followed by wagon transport to the current Lake Cassencarry location.[7]
