Suburb #6 Fadden - the reboot edition

The 6th suburb that I visited back in 2014 was Fadden and I must admit that I do not think I had visited since....

Fadden was established in 1981 and about 3,000 people live there...last time I was there I nicknamed it 'Agrestic' (was watching Weeds at the time), so what was I to find this time in this possible 80s paradise?

I began my walk at the somewhat non-existent local shops....it all seemed very quiet and rather sleepy...

But there were some fun splashes of colour and an impressive mailbox that was designed to reflect the shape of the house behind it...

But its when you walk up the hills...the steep hills....of Fadden that the real beauty of this suburb begins to emerge...

At one point I felt like I had entered a different country...

But looking in other directions, it was very much the bush capital...

And, at the top, I found Mt Wanniassa - which I must admit I didn't know existed ha ha

The weeds 'ticky tacky' houses were still there - but looking pretty impressive from up above...

But it was time to wander down the hill and see what I could find...

Portal door? 

I decided not to risk it. But with the afternoon coming to an end..

It was time to pass by one more puppy ha ha....

And check out Fadden Pines... the pines were a little bit creepy to be honest...

But there was some other colourful fun to experience before my Fadden adventure ended :)
