Learn more about the Quinns Rocks, Mindarie and Jindalee neighbourhoods.
Quinns Rocks, Mindarie and Jindalee together form a distinctive coastal corridor in the northern City of Wanneroo defined by their beachside lifestyles, ocean access and relaxed community vibe; Quinns Rocks is known for its long sandy shoreline, family-friendly beach recreation and local parks supporting community life, while nearby Mindarie adds a marina, residential neighbourhood and preserved coastal dunes that enhance the area’s leisure-focused character. Jindalee, the newer outer coastal suburb nestled between Quinns Rocks and Alkimos, complements this cluster with its growing residential development set against largely natural scrubland and pristine beaches, fostering a laid-back seaside atmosphere that attracts families and lifestyle-oriented residents and links to broader amenities via transport and nearby shopping and schools.

Place name and meaning
Jindalee
The name Jindalee was proposed by the then Shire of Wanneroo on 29 June 1979 and is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘a bare hill’, likely referring to Eglinton Hill, which is within the locality.
Mindarie
Mindarie Lake was a location and Aboriginal place name first recorded by Alexander Forrest in 1874. The suburb was to have been named Clarkson prior to development, but the two names were rearranged and approved on 6 May 1985. The Aboriginal meaning for the name is possibly ‘the place near which held a ceremony’ or ‘green water’.
Quinns Rocks
Quinns Rocks was named after the offshore reef first noted by Assistant Surveyor James Cowle in 1867. The reef is thought to have been named after Robert Quin, who emigrated to Western Australia in 1863, where he was appointed as an Assistant Surveyor on his arrival. An alternate namesake is Mick Quinn, a sheep tender who worked for the Mindarie Pastoral Company in the early 1900s.
