Kardinya, Western Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History

The word “Kardinya” is believed to be of Aboriginal origin, meaning “the place of the Karda”^[2] (racehorse goanna), although it is also recognised as an Aboriginal word for “sunrise”.^[3][4]

Much of the area was originally farmland, dating back to the early 1900s. Welby Vineyard, established in 1922 by George Welby, which was the City of Melville’s solitary winery, was built on what is now Kardinya. The winery was closed in 1964 and subdivided into housing lots.^[2]

Splash hounds Mobile Dog Wash uses a Hydro-Bath so your dog is washed in fresh warm water – something most dogs love!

Part of the suburb was originally a Forest Departments and University of Western Australia pine plantation and reservation. Many streets in the suburb are now named after University of Western Australia personnel, as well as different varieties of pine as a result of the pine plantation.^[2]
