Karingal, Victoria
Karingal is a local area within the suburb of Frankston located in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. It is in the local government area of the City of Frankston (app. 45 km South East from the Melbourne CBD) History European settlement of the area now known as Karingal is recorded as far back as the 1840s. Agricultural and pastoral land use continued in the area into the 1960s, when residential development spread from Frankston East into this locality. As this part of Frankston was subdivided and developed (largely as an AV Jennings housing estate), it was dubbed "Karingal", a Koori word which translates as "happy home" or "happy camp". During this time, the Karingal Post Office opened on 1 April 1964. Ballam Park homestead The "Ballam Ballam" estate was home to prominent early settlers of the Frankston area, the Liardets.
