Mirrabooka is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Stirling.
Mirrabooka is the Aboriginal name for the constellation most commonly known as the Southern Cross. Its post code is 6061.
The suburb has expanded rapidly in recent years, with the subdivision of bushland, on which housing developments have been built, especially north of Yirrigan Drive. The Mirrabooka Square Shopping Centre has been expanded (and is expected to expand further). A new regional police station of the Western Australia Police has been opened.
The suburb has traditionally been considered to be very much a "working class" area, but with the recent developments, this is changing. Mirrabooka has gained a vibrant flair over recent years because of large numbers of immigrant groups coming to the area.
