Burswood is derived from "Burrs-Wood", the name given to his property by Henry Camfield, the original land holder of the area. The current spelling of "Burswood" is the result of a spelling error by the men who painted the sign for the first railway station in the area. The Burswood Peninsula is situated on the picturesque Swan River, boasting more than 2.5 hectares of parks, gardens, lakes and recreational areas, along with residential towers, executive townhouses and luxury apartments with on-site pools, barbeque areas, playground equipment and a popular restaurant and café on site.
