In my original home town ...A very indirect memory. In my original home town of Canberra, the capital city of Australia, most of the suburbs are named for politicians and other notables. Frank Forde was Prime Minister for 8 days in 1945, and Peter Harrison was a city planner. When the Gungahlin region of Canberra was being laid out in the 1990s, there was a bit of rearrangement, and for a while the proposed suburbs of Harrison and Forde were next to each other. Perhaps fearing the possibility of direction signs being constantly stolen like the ones on Penny Lane and that place in Austria, they shifted them apart.
