Grandpas Guide to Driving in Pialligo

Greetings, young ones! Miss me and my sage-like wisdom which I have acquired over the span of my (rather long and healthy) life? Well, don’t you worry! Because Grandpa’s back to guide you along another fun-filled road trip!

This time I will be discussing Pialligo, Canberra. It’s a rural suburb in the Australian Capital Territory where there’s plenty to do and to see. The name Pialligo, which is of Aboriginal origin, has been used for this area since approximately some time in 1820. It was also the name for the parish in the area.

The streets in Pialligo are also named with Aboriginal roots and this shows how important their culture and the language of their ancestors are important is to this place.

Being an early site of Aboriginal campsites, Pialligo soon became residence to white settlers who started raising sheep and cattle and planting lush vegetables and gardens on the land. After the National Capital was established in the early 20th Century, Pialligo became known as the kitchen garden of the city. Agriculture flourished like never before!

At the present, Canberra locals and tourists alike enjoy the scent of country living in view of Parliament House as they walk the streets, visit the orchards, vineyards, nurseries, garden and gift centres. You’ll find out a bit later on in this guide just how much you can do in this amazing suburb!
