Lancelin, Western Australia

Lancelin is a small fishing village in Western Australia, with about 600 residents that once lived mainly from the crab and lobster fisheries. Today, tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy. Due to the relative proximity to Perth ( about 110 km north of the city), there are now numerous Cottages which are mostly inhabited only during the holidays. Thus, the population swells during the Christmas holidays to approximately 2,500.
