Beechina

"On the way to Northam."

Beechina is a small township within the Shire of Mundaring. The name is taken from an Aborignal word which refers to the 'white gum tree valley' which is nearby. The name was first recorded by P Chauncey in 1847, when he worked as a land surveyor on the road to Northam. The area is mostly rural land use and is popular with families seeking a country escape, or those wanting a horse or hobby farm property.

Casuarina

"Casuarina - known for the secure accommodation!"

Casuarina is a semi-rural area in the Shire of Kwinana, with a population of around 1100. Some of the area is large lots where landowners may build houses, but they must keep the surrounding bushland intact. There are no real amenities in the immediate area, such as schools, medical faciltiies or shopping areas. This is because the most well known accomodation in the area is the self contained maximum security prison. This is where most of the 1100 residents live and naturally they have limited needs for outside resources. This is an informational post, rather than a rating of any sort.

Cullacabardee

"Cullacabardee is an area designated as Aboriginal Community Living."

Cullacabardee is not a typical residential suburb, but has been designated semi-rural and allocated to Aborigial Community Housing. By checking google maps you can see that it is largely clear or scrub land close to Alexander Rd, Ballajura. The population is approximately 80 people and there are 30-40 units for accomodation. It is not a suburban area in the typical way, with schools and amenities. THis review is just for informational purposes, further can be found by searching on google/wikipedia.

Carabooda

"A bushland environment on the way to Yanchep."

Carabooda is a bushland environment with a small population of around 700. It is considered a rural area and currently does not even have public transport. Checking the google maps, on satellite images, shows an area largely covered in trees and no suburban areas nearby. Most of the population would be involved in land use activities like market gardening, with the nearest major population and shopping centre being suburbs like Sinagra, 15 mins away on Wanneroo Rd and Yanchep 20 mins in the other direction.

Great for

  • Not really a residential suburb.

Gnangara

"A water source, covered by a pine forest."

Gnangara is listed as a suburb of Perth, however it has a very small population (1100 in a recent census) and is largely semi rural. Until recent years Gnangara was situated at the far reaches of the Perth suburban area. Of course, it still sits there but Perth has sprawled such that Ellenbrook and Landsdale have closed the gaps. Checking the google map on the side shows mostly green and few roads. Gnangara itself is a large area, and has mostly large acreages, used by people to run a few animals, park their many trucks or their business - there is still the occassional plant nursery in the area or livestock supply business.Other people use the pine forests for activitys like walking, paintballing, dirt road racing or dumping stolen cars.

Most people know Gnangara, not as a suburb, but as the pine forests/plantations that have been there for decades. Below the ground, there is the Gnangara Mound, a vital water supply that is depleted by the pine trees and ongoing development. In recent years many of the pine trees have been removed to create suburban dwellings such as the suburb of Ellenbrook. Gnangara itself is not really considered a livable suburb, rather something you go past on Gnangara Rd. There are no schools, shops, doctors or any other amenities in Gnangara itself. Those things are in suburbs like Ellenbrook and surrounds. I used to live nearby as a youg adult and seeing the changes over the years has really demonstrated the urban sprawl in Perth.

Great for

  • Not really a residential suburb, so no pros or cons.
