Meet the Locals


Priscilla W
Q. What do you love about Higgins?
Priscilla: Conveniently located, spacious parking lot for cars and trucks & children's riding track, very nice friendly people.

Q. How could we improve it?
Priscilla: Perhaps more police surveillance to reduce incidents of theft and break-ins. And definitely a friendly, economical, café shop.

Q. What is your favourite romantic thing to do in Higgins?
Priscilla: Down the underpaths….?

Q. If Higgins had a flag, what should it look like?
Priscilla: A combination of the pics children have done on the walls of the Higgins shops.

Q. What do you love about Higgins?
Boniwell Bear: I love this street. I can't get enough of it. Sometimes I just sit all day watching it. Sometimes at night too. Really it's riveting. Especially this bit straight in front of me. I often don't even turn my head because what's straight ahead is so good. That could be a moral for life you know. I'm really a very happy bear.

Q. What is the most romantic place in Higgins?
Boniwell Bear: Actually I don't have time for romance but some of the talk I hear around here late at night makes me think the swings must be very erotic.

Q. How would you improve Higgins?
Boniwell Bear: Really I wouldn't change much. I'd like more people to come and talk to me though. This interview has been nice.

Q. If we had a flag what would it look like?
Boniwell Bear: I think an arch of grey bitumen with some light cement-grey (like the gutters) and then red on the outside (like the red scoria that's so popular in Higgins frontyards at the moment). Yeah Awesome.


Fran M

Q. What new addition would you like to see in Higgins?
Fran: I'd like to see communal vege patches and more native shrubs and grasses in our local parks.

Q. What is the most romantic place in Higgins?
Fran: My house, for sure.

Q. Where would you go if you wanted to feel creative and inspired in Higgins?
Fran: I'd go for a walk up to Landsend on Drake-Brockman Drive, There I can look out over the paddocks and the Brindabella mountains, its absolutely beautiful.

Q. Do you think Henry Higgins would be proud of Higgins?

Fran: Definitely. There's a real mix of people. I'd say we're proud of who we are, and generally everyone's pretty friendly.

Q. Should we have a flag and if so what should it look like?
Fran: Maybe some of those pictures from down at the shops that the kids have drawn could make a good flag?

Q. Should 30 June, Henry Higgin's birthday, be a public holiday for Higgins residents?
Fran: Definitely!

Q. Should we invade Scullin or Page?
Fran: No way. Those suburbs are no where near as cool as Higgins. I think we should build a fence around us, to stop them from invading us!
