It is located on the coast at the mouth of Margaret River at the northern end of Calgardup Bay. At the {{CensusAU|2011}}, Prevelly had a population of 177.[1] It was privately subdivided by Geoff Edwards in the early 1960s and named Prevelly; the shire petitioned for a townsite to be declared in 1977 and it was duly gazetted in 1978.[2] The town was named after the Preveli monastery on Crete.[3] Edwards was among the Australian soldiers given shelter at the St. John Monastery in 1941 prior to evacuation aboard {{HMS|Thrasher|N37|6}}. To thank the people of Crete and the Monastery, he began construction of a St. John the Theologian chapel in Prevelly. A fund for this purpose was established in 1984 and drew support from both Australian and British former service men.[4] The Cape to Cape Track passes through Prevelly. Prevelly beaches and the adjacent coastline are locations of some significant surf breaks References1. ^1 Prevelly Australian Bureau of Statistics {{Towns South West WA}}2. ^{{LandInfo WA|c|P|2011-03-21}} 3. ^Prevelly Park - Western Australia - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au 4. ^Geoffrey Edwards and Prevelly in Australia, Explore Crete: The Travel Guide for Real Crete 2 : Towns in Western Australia|Surfing locations in South West Western Australia |
