La Perouse, Coastal administrative division in Randwick City Council, Australia.
La Perouse extends along the eastern shores of Botany Bay, featuring Frenchmans Bay Reserve and Cann Park with coastal walking paths and recreational spaces.
The area received its name from French navigator Jean-François de Galaup who arrived at Botany Bay in 1788 during his exploration of Australian waters.
The local Aboriginal people of the Bidjigal clan maintain strong connections to this land, sharing their traditions through exhibitions at the La Perouse Museum.
The division connects to Sydney through regular bus services and provides multiple parking areas near Frenchmans Bay Reserve and the museum facilities.
La Perouse Museum occupies a former cable station building from 1881, presenting maritime artifacts and documenting early European-Aboriginal interactions.
