There was plenty of colour around in 2005 – what a year – it is hard to believe it was 13 years ago that these images were gracing pages of the Mandurah Mail.
Although time flies by, it is hard to forget some of the major events around the world that dominated our television screens and newspaper headlines.
2005 was the year that Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles. John Howard was the Prime Minister of Australia and the West Coast Eagles were agonisingly beaten by the Sydney Swans in the AFL Grand Final.
Locally, we were covering all the breaking news, attending events and capturing photos of the community.
South Mandurah were crowned Peel footy champions after beating Waroona in the Grand Final.
Digging back through the archives, there are many colourful, interesting and vivid photos of residents, local celebrities and community groups.
A selection of some of our best photos from 2005 can be found in the gallery above.
