Life has been a bit crazy recently, but before the end of last year I did manage to sneak in suburb #10 which was Pialligo - and then embarrassingly completely forgot about it!
Or perhaps I blocked it out - as I must admit I was bit sad about the significant chances to this suburb in over the last decade, which is now home to 138 people.
Pialligo is essentially one street...so I parked my car down one end on a lovely spring afternoon and walked all the way down one side and back the other.
Once upon a time the charm of Pialligo was that it felt like you had left Canberra and entered a big country farm...it is not quite the same now with actual pavements and roads without holes (ironically probably due to infrastructure upgrades that were probably partly my fault....).
But there are still lots of the old trees and the ivy that I remembered...
And the lovely country style driveways...
And views...
And orchards...
And of course lots of fabulous plants...
There are not as many animals as I remember...but there are definitely still some animal friends...
