Suburb no. 77 was Rivett in the South. I have to say it wasn't the most riverting suburban experience i have had, but I still had a lovely walk in the sun.
Rivett is named after Sir Albert Cherbury David Rivett - a man with an impressive name. He was a scientist but to be honest I am not really sure why a suburb was named after him unless it was because he was married to Alfred Deakin's daughter. He was Chairman of the CSIRO for a bit though and was one of those folks given the title of the Night Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George.

The streets here are named after Australian flora.
As I often do, I started my adventures at the local shops....they look like they are struggling a bit to keep going but they are not giving up without a fight...and a very chipper baker!

Someone has made a valiant effort to create a tile display like the one I saw in Watson recently but I am afraid the outcome is a little sad :(
There is a very cute dog in residence though :)
And the parkland around the shops is quite pretty...
Even if the locals may be trying to make contact with aliens..
There are, however, a lot of Australian flags around here which you know makes me cranky...
But also other things that symbolise Australia more appropriately for me...
I think Rivett could do with a little more love...
Because it certainly has potential....thanks Rivett :)
