The Mandurah train line doesn’t cost much to use. The cash fare from Perth to Mandurah is $4.90, although you can get it slightly cheaper using the SmartRider system

The major issue with using the Mandurah train line for tourism purposes is that none of the stations along it are as close to the coast as they might be. Rockingham Station is at the eastern end of Rockingham, for example, rather than conveniently close to the Penguin Island ferries.

Most of the attractive spots along the route are on the coast, and the Mandurah train line doesn’t go near them. It is not much use for Fremantle, Coogee Beach or Port Kennedy, for example.

Once in Mandurah, you can treat it as a seaside town destination in its own right, or branch out towards the likes of Dawesville or Pinjarra.
