Yokine
Yokine is an established inner-northern suburb of Perth in the City of Stirling, about 6 kilometres from the CBD. The name comes from the Aboriginal word meaning “native dog,” chosen because the area is close to Dog Swamp, a seasonal wetland feature that has shaped this part of Perth’s geography. The suburb was originally part of a large crown grant taken by T. R. C. Walters in 1840. The Western Australian Golf Club, which has occupied the north-eastern boundary of Yokine since the 1920s, is one of the suburb’s most significant institutions and landmarks. Dog Swamp Shopping Centre is the main retail hub for the suburb and surrounding area. A housing boom began in Yokine after World War II, and much of the area around the golf course was developed by the early 1950s, with the southern section growing rapidly through the 1960s. By the late 1970s, Yokine was almost completely built out. Yokine Hill, also known as Mount Yokine, was originally a survey point and remains a notable landscape feature. Housing in Yokine ranges from brick developments from the 1940s to timber-framed homes, International style houses and modern infill construction. Older homes in Yokine commonly carry original bathroom tiling that has seen decades of use, with grout that has cracked, stained or failed and silicone that has deteriorated around showers and wet areas. The Grout Guy services Yokine for tile regrouting, leaking shower repairs, silicone replacement and tile and grout sealing. Complete regrouts include a 10-Year Waterproof Warranty.
