Stratham, Western Australia

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.

[2][3] 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.

[4][5] 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.

[6] 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[7] and his nephew.
