It is named after a property 'Spring vale' built in the area in the 1800s which was given an Aboriginal name. The streets here are named after pioneers of the ACT.
So my only knowledge of Weetangera was the vet clinic on the main road with the groovy 'doctor' light so I thought I might as well start here...
From here I was very pleased to wander around and come across many of the features that I really like in the older Canberra suburbs - the under passes, the pathways that run between housing blocks and of course the bush gardens...
After a very stressful few weeks, to be honest I would have been happy to keep wandering aimlessly on my own in the winter sun....but I decided to head to the shops - can't forget the local shops after all!
Alas there was not much to find here unless you count the beauty parlour (and members of my team at work would understand why this may me stop and laugh for a good five minutes!).
But even Weetangera has its own little bit of paradise...
And some lovely parks...
Including one on the grounds of an old school from the 1800s....with a cool older style playground :)
Wish I knew who Charlie was...the wonder dog? :p
I was also pleased to see that at least someone has begun the fight against winter :)
