Walmsley is a locality of the City of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Chester Pass Road forms the western boundary of Walmsley.[2][3]
Walmsley and the City of Albany are located on the traditional land of the Minang people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6][7]
The heritage listed Eyre and Wylie Memorial is located in Walmsley, within Allambie Park Cemetery. Edward John Eyre and his Aboriginal companion Wylie traversed the Nullarbor Plain in 1841, crossing from Fowlers Bay, South Australia, to Albany. The memorial is located at the end point of their track and is one of five to commemorate the journey. It was installed around 1965.[8]
