Westlake

Featuring In Order: Ann Gugler, Patricia Frei, Gayle Mooney, John Clowry, and Richard Taber

While Westlake is not officially 'under the lake' (now known as Stirling Park), the community were officially part of Acton until 1963, and have long since departed from the area. There were many mentions of the 'Westlake' kids from the Acton community, and the children of the area shared fond memories.

Ann Gugler has created a significant web resource detailing the history and stories of Westlake - see Hidden Canberra. See also the Anthology website which documents a site specific theatrical journey through the vanished suburb of Westlake in 2014, now known as Stirling Park.
