It is named after Adam Lindsay Gordon an Australia poet, jockey and politician. His poem A song of Autumn was set to music by Edward Elgar.
Where shall we go for our garlands glad
At the falling of the year
When the burnt-up banks are yellow and sad
When the boughs are yellow and sere?
When the old ones that once we had,
And where are the old new ones near?
What shall we do for our garlands glad
At the falling of the year?
The streets are named after sportspeople.
Gordon, very much like Banks across to the east, boasts some amazing views. You can also literally walk for five minutes and feel like you are in the middle of the countryside.
But turn around and you are surrounded by epic mega mansions...
And yards filled with strange objects...
A highlight though was definitely Point Hut pond and the local park....
Here we found the leaning tower of Gordon...
This was harder than it looks...
But the slide was awesome!!! unlike my very inelegant dismount...
And I haven't made myself dizzy in one of these since I was like 12....
Not far away was also Point Hut crossing...a gorgeous little spot.
Overall a great southern adventure :)
