Wembley's most expensive street overlooks a lake Perth used as a tip for almost 60 years.
Lake Monger Drive has averaged $3.24 million a house over the last five years. It's named after the lake, which got its Noongar name, Galup, back in June 2025. From 1907 the city filled the lake's edges with rubbish. In the 1930s people swam off the jetty, while on the other side the dunny carts were emptying in. The neighbours finally got the tip shut in 1966, and in places the rubbish is still less than a metre under the grass.
Perth's rubbish. Wembley's view.
