Place name and meaning
Girrawheen
In June 1970, the Shire of Wanneroo gazetted the name ‘Girrawheen’. The name means ‘place of flowers’ or ‘the place where flowers grow’ in an Eastern States Aboriginal language, possibly that of the Kambuwal people in southeastern Queensland.
Koondoola
Koondoola is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘emu’ and was approved as the name for this suburb in 1970, when a planning scheme for the area was endorsed by the City.
