" Innaloo is a suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, and it is located 9 km from Perth's central business district. Its Local Government Area is the City of Stirling.
Innaloo is a more established residential suburb that is also home to the Westfield Innaloo and Westfield Innaloo Megacentre shopping centres, and is adjacent to Perth's largest cinema complex, the 18-cinema Greater Union Megaplex Innaloo
Innaloo was originally named "Njookenbooroo", a local Noongar Aboriginal name for a nearby swamp. This name was too difficult to pronounce or spell, and in 1927, the local progress association asked welfare worker and anthropologist Daisy Bates to compile a list of words and names. The name of an Aboriginal woman from Dongara was chosen for the area.[2] It is much beloved of comedians making fun of place names, along with the suburb of Upper Swan. However, all attempts at changing the name from Innaloo have so far failed."
Weather forecasts had promised rain over Perth but by 2pm the skies were clear. Hence we headed over to Innaloo. In fact, I had no plans to visit Innaloo today. It was an impromptu decision because I was kind of bored staying at home. Thus when my friend came over to my place, I came up with this suggestion. Why? Simply because I couldnt think of a better place to take pictures.
