[edit] History

It is named after the adjacent sheltered cove in the Swan River, which is in turn named after Alfred Waylen, a pioneer settler in the area who was granted Swan Location 74, covering most of present-day Alfred Cove and Myaree.[3]

It contains the Tompkins Park and Wireless Hill Park.
