surf break was named after Ray and Helen Geary's beach shack in Sandra Street. The boys would head over the back beach with their "planks" and drink beer at the shack afterwards. • The first school with the City of Mandurah local government area boundary was built at Pleasant Grove in 1906, pre-dating the Central Mandurah public school on Hackett Street by 30 years. It closed in 1916. • The first brick and tile houses in Falcon were built on Mercedes Avenue. • In the late-90s, the band Turnstyle made several visits to Falcon to write music in solitude at the holiday home of guitarist Adem K on Philante Street. Most of the album Turnstyle Country was written here including the top 20 single "Spray Water on the Stereo" which directly references the home in its lyrics. References Suburbs of Mandurah
