Kinross, Western Australia
Kinross is a small suburb in the city of Joondalup filled with young families and popular with overseas migrants. The gentle, community feel and close proximity to local beaches make it a great place to raise a family. As a result, a healthy mix of Asian, British, South African and European families occupy the suburb alongside the local population. Being close to the coast also means good sea breezes to cool down hot summer evenings. Kinross is a green suburb, with parks aplenty. Spaced out within the suburb are Callender Park, McNaughton Park, Stonehaven Park, Falklands Park and Roxburgh Park.
If you have not already guessed, the Scottish influence in Kinross is not limited to its name but extends throughout the suburb with road names mainly derived from Scottish place names, for example Glencoe Loop, Edinburgh Avenue, Selkirk Drive, Falkirk Court, you get the gist of it.
