Birchmont is a rural locality of the Shire of Murray in the Peel Region of Western Australia, located on the eastern shore of the Harvey Estuary.[3][4]
The locality is on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation.[5] The Pindjarup language is now considered extinct but the Noongar people remain present in the region.[6][failed verification]
The locality is home to the heritage-listed Birchmont Homestead, which was constructed in 1862 and is located on the shore of Lake McLarty.[7]
