Bayonet Head is an outer north-eastern suburb of Albany, in the Great Southern WA region, on the west bank of Oyster Harbour, and is approximately 400km from Perth (4 and a half hours) via the Albany Hwy/State Route 30.
Established in 1981, Bayonet Head, a suburb with a rich history dating back to the 1980s, was originally known as Flinders Park—a farming property that underwent a transformation into the vibrant neighbourhood it is today.
