Scullin is named after former prime minister James Scullin who was lucky enough to be sworn into government two days before the wall street crash of 1929 which basically marked the start of the great depression. James was a good catholic boy who didn't drink or smoke and married a dressmaker.
Streets here are apparently named after aviators (missed that entirely...) - though note that Long Place is ridiculously short...
Scullin is quite a small suburb of Belconnen. It has some amazing tall and beautiful gum trees, but a bit of a dry and dusty feel about it as a result.
But if you look closely enough you can find some pretty little bits of greenery...
And as usual Belco didn't disappoint with the individualistic letterbox design :)
I swear this horse is too freaky for a kids playground though....
Finally it was off to the shops where they appear to have several supermarkets...
And the good old suburban Chinese restaurant - of course called Sue's...
And plane stuff...
And today they also had a party :) [*waves* to Tara aka 'Miss Belconnen' - sorry I didn't stop too say hello but you looked busy]. Ukuleles, free hair spray and op shopping - not bad Scullin. Well done :)
But just finally WTF? did I miss something with this advertising campaign...
