Casey is named after Richard Gavin Gardiner Casey, an Australian politician, diplomat, Governor General of Australia and a baron no less. He was Australia's foreign affairs minister during a few little minor incidents like the Suez Crisis, the Vietnam War and the Cold War. He was also colonial governor of Bengal between 1944 and 1946 which probably interests me more than it interests you
As my learned fellow adventurer guessed, the streets here are named after notable Australian diplomats and public servants such as Sir John Overall.
Casey is a lot newer than I realised, with many houses still being built and heaps of construction still underway...
Nevertheless, the residents here are clearly going places...ahhh nothing like climbing that social structure and fulfilling the (American) *cough* your dreams....
Casey even has its own great wall...
Oddly Casey also has a lot of stairs that appear to go nowhere though...
But jokes aside, you can already see some typical Gungahlinesque features developing....those that I love, like the splashes of bright colour...
The awesome parks (although town planners please make your slides big enough for grown ups with hips, I have lost weight but almost got stuck in this slide...)...
And the beautiful and sometimes not so beautiful suburban ambience...
Unfortunately, someone always has to ruin it with a flag...
