Karrinyup
Situated 12km from Perth GPO.
The development of the area today known as KARRINYUP had its beginnings in the early 1840's when Samuel Moore took up a grant of 780 acres in the northern part of the suburb. Moore's grant, Swan Location 92 was surveyed by P Chauncey in 1844 and Chauncey recorded a large swamp just to the east of Karrinyup as Careniup Swamp. This swamp is still known by this name today, and is the name from which Karrinyup is derived. When the golf course was being developed in the late 1920¿s the Foundation Committee altered Careniup to create Karrinyup.
