Cannington
A bland suburb in a convenient spot with a huge shopping mall.
Cannington, Perth (south)
If shopping is your thing, Cannington is your nirvana. Cannington, named after the Canning River, is one of the busiest places in Perth’s metropolitan area and is a mere 13 kilometers south from the CBD. Given Perth’s massive urban sprawl, that now counts as an inner suburb! Cannington has a large shopping mall (Westfield Carousel), an IMAX theatre – one of only a few in all of Perth. Cutting right through the heart of the suburb is the super busy and noisy Albany Highway. Cannington’s inner-city nature means hustle-and-bustle is just another fact of life. Be prepared for exhaust fumes thick in the air and an urban landscape made up of some older homes, but many more brick homes, brick units, brick apartments, brick brick brick and plenty of concrete. Just as well the Canning River Regional Park is nearby, otherwise your brain might fry.
