Oxley is named after John Joseph William Molesworth Oxley - an explorer and surveyor who apparently not only has a very long name but discovered the Brisbane River. It seems rather ironic that this suburb is named after an explorer of significant territory. This suburb is really really small only 1.08km². It seems even smaller after you have just spent a whole day trying to drive around Kambah as well.
The streets here are named after social reformers.
Oxley is essentially Mt Tuggeranong - which sounds pretty big but really isn't either - surrounded by houses. There is a great view of the Tuggeranong town centre from the top - if you don't get eaten by the bugs.
I also made a new friend here.
Saw some wattle...
And some new entrants in the fake grass/concrete competition.
