Yennora
Postcode : 2161
This comparatively small suburb between the local government areas of Fairfield and Holroyd has an Aboriginal name meaning "to stroll".
In 1927 when the railway line from Granville to Liverpool was constructed the platform in this area was given the name Yennora. It eventually serviced the suburb's wool stores, built in 1971.
The Yennora Wool Centre receives wool in its greasy state, prepares it for sale, arranges inspection by wool brokers, prepares the wool that has been sold for export in containers, and conducts wool sales twice a year.
