 Historic Quaalup Homestead
The Aboriginal word Queelup (spelt with double e) means Between Two Rivers. This was the name chosen for the Homestead, but the word was mis-spelled as Quaalup (with double a).
|  Qualup Bell (Pimelea physodes)
The Botanists decided to name this plant after the Homestead, but a second mis-spelling resulted in it being called Qualup (with one a).
