Calista is a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Kwinana.
Calista is one of the Kwinana suburbs named after a ship. Calista was one of the first ships to bring settlers to the Swan River Colony. She arrived with 73 passengers on 5 August 1829 under the command of Captain S. Hawkins. Two of the most notable passengers on the ship were Lionel and William Samson.[1]
Calista is home to the Kwinana Adventure Park which was voted the Western Australia's joint Favourite Playground in 2021.[2]
