Thor Street, Innaloo, WA 6018

I grew up on Thor St during the '70s and '80s and have seen a lot of changes in the area. My parents still live there on their 1/4 acre block, one of the last remaining original residents. When they built in Innaloo it was an outer suburb of Perth and the land had only just been cleared. If you have a look at the street scape now you will be lucky to spot a tree as the high density living has forced the removal of the big old leafy trees. I can remember riding my bike along the freeway as a kid whilst it was being built. I remember when the corner that Bunnings is on was just bushland and when Odin rd was the only access out to Balcatta before the freway was built. We used to go to the drive in movies at Innaloo and eat at Hungry Jacks when it was the only HJ's in Perth - it was the first one in W.A.
Innaloo in a fantastic place to live but the City of Stirling needs to pull their finger out and solve some of the traffic problems now occurring in the area due to the rapid population rise and infastructure development. I don't even enjoy visting my parents because it is so difficult these days to get around the area with the huge number of vehicles and badly designed and controlled roads.

We love the quietness and walking distance to restaraunts, movies and upmarket hotels like the george and botanica. 5 minute drive to the beach and 2 minutes to freeway. - Fantastic !
