Kwinana today is a thriving and expanding community,
integral to the industry of Western Australia, yet cushioned by
natural bush and set on the Indian Ocean coastline.
Our name - Kwinana - is a Kimberley Aboriginal word
meaning `pretty maiden'. It is also the name of the ill-fated SS
Kwinana, damaged beyond repair in Carnarvon in 1920. Saved from
a watery grave, the hull of the coastal freighter is part of the
jetty at Kwinana Beach and holds perpetual place in the history
of the area that adopted its name.
