Q is for... Quinns Rocks Beach

Quinns Rocks is bounded by Mindarie, West is the Indian Ocean and the coastline of Quinns Beach, which straddles the whole length of the suburb.

The suburb takes its name from the offshore reef first noted during a coastline crossing by Assistant Surveyor James Cowle in 1867.
Cowle was continuing a survey begun by Robert Quin, who had reached a spot about 4 kilometres south-east of the rocks in 1866.
Although the modern-day name is spelt with a double 'n', the rocks are thought to have been named after Quin, who emigrated to Western Australia in 1863, where he was appointed as an Assistant Surveyor on his arrival.
He occupied this position for 22 years, carrying out most of his surveys in the Gingin-Moore River area, before passing away in July 1886.
