Origin of the Name:
This suburb is named after Bertram John Hillary, a Gallipoli war veteran who died in 1957 at the age of 62 and who set up the first beach shack on a lonely stretch of beach in 1930. That beach eventually came to be named after its best known inhabitant, courtesy of the army which had use of the land during World War II. The name was suggested as a suburb name by the Shire of Wanneroo and was approved in 1971.
