The City of Busselton and the locality of Quedjinup are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people,[4][5] of the Noongar nation.[6] The name Quedjinup means "place of women" in the Wardandi dialect of the Noongar language and the Wardandi people used the name to refer to the area that is now Dunsborough.[7]
Dunsborough Christian College, a co-educational primary and secondary college, is in Quedjinup.[8]
