Padbury

Padbury was named in 1971 after the notable Western Australian settler Walter Padbury (a street in Padbury is also named him, Walter Padbury Boulevard). Several locations in the north section of Padbury bordering on the main road of Whitfords Avenue take on the name Whitfords. The South East corner of the suburb also goes by the name of Hepburn Heights and the most eastern part of Padbury is often called Pinnaroo Heights.
