About
Koondoola
Koondoola is
an Aboriginal
word meaning 'emu', and was approved as the name for this
suburb in 1970.
The
suburb was
formed in 1973
when Homes-west
subdivided both
Koondoola and
Girrawheen to
provide cheaper
accommodation
for young
families.
The names were
advised by the
Arnham
Aboriginal
elders, but
Koondoola seems
to come from the
Laparouse
Aboriginals.
Bush walkers of
Koondoola meet
at the entrance
gate (located at
the corner of
Koondoola Avenue
and Burbridge)
every 2nd
Saturday of the month at 8.00
am sharp for
their tour.
