Alfred Cove is a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
It is named after the adjacent sheltered cove in the Swan River, which is in turn named after Alfred Waylen who was born at Point Walter in 1833 and who was granted Swan Location 74, covering most of present-day Alfred Cove and Myaree.
[4] The suburb is home to a variety of migrant and native species of birds and animals as the hinterland offers a comfortable habitat including the mudflats, seagrass beds and intertidal vegetation.
Some of the migratory wading birds come from as far as Siberia, Mongolia and Asia and many of these species are protected under international agreements.
