Stratham is a semi-rural locality of the Shire of Capel in the South West region of Western Australia, located on Geographe Bay and on Bussell Highway. In the south-west, a section of the Tuart Forest National Park is located within Stratham.[1] [2]
The Shire of Capel and the locality of Stratham are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4]
A number of heritage-listed sites exist in the locality, among them Sunnyside, Stratham Park, Roselands and Rosemore homesteads as well as the All Souls Church.[5] Stratham Park homestead dates back to the 1850s, when John Scott, a constable in Bunbury, married and settled in the area, building a four-room cottage which he named after the family home in Scotland. The near-by Roselands, Sunnyside and Rosemore properties were owned by relatives of John Scott, his brother, his son[6] and his nephew.[7]
