"The name Karrinyup was originally derived from the word Careniup, a Noongar name for a nearby swamp which apparently means "the place where bush kangaroos graze". "

The translation I heard was "Place of Bullrushes"!

Yes it's true! I live in a swamp! Which isn't too bad because a near-by suburb is called Innaloo, which is almost but not as bad as living in "Upper Swan"

Cheers!
