McAlinden is a rural locality of the Shire of Boyup Brook in the South West region of Western Australia.[2][3]
McAlinden is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang (also spelt Kaniyang) people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
The locality contains two heritage-listed homesteads, the house and farm at 817 McAlinden Road and the Cootamundra homestead, built in 1932, with the buildings being opposite each other on McAlinden Road.[7][8]
The north-western corner of McAlinden is home to the Greater Preston National Park, also referred to as Preston National Park, which primarily stretches across the localities of McAlinden and Noggerup.[9][10]
