Eaglehawk

With quirky names like Peg Leg Road, Jackass Flat, and Brewery Street, you know Eaglehawk relishes their differences. They also honour their past citizens, hence, Mr Kirkwood, Mr Avery and Mr McCormack get the nod on street signs.

This might seem like small-town Australia all over, but for those from the ‘Burra’, it’s the true-blue way to gift their own with a more permanent place in Eaglehawk’s history.

For local family outings with the kids, the beautiful Canterbury Park and Tom Thumb Lake make the perfect outdoor destination and draw hundreds each week.

For indoor fun try the Peter Krenz Leisure Centre, the Badminton league and the Eaglehawk Eco centre recycle shop. One of the best ‘tip shops’ you’re ever likely to find, if you’re a recycle junkie this is a classic place to go visit.

If you’re yearning for a place where you will be made welcome, that has tolerance for all, the so hard-to-nail inclusiveness in a population, then Eaglehawk is for you – it has the balance just right.

There is a host of public and private schools to choose from, some large industries if you like to work close to home, and a ‘you can do it’ mindset, all in Eaglehawk, a place like no other.
