Royal Park, South Australia
Royal Park is located in the western suburbs of Adelaide. It is home to a large Polish community, as evidenced by the establishment of St Stanislaus of Cracow Catholic Church. Other ethnic groups represented include Italian, Croatian, Bosnian, Irish, Macedonian and Greek. At that time there was still a tribe of Aborigines living around the wetlands west of Royal Park that is now the suburb of West Lakes. In the 1950s a few streets at the southern end of Royal Park were allocated for Government Public Housing developments through the South Australian Housing Trust. In recent years, there has been large-scale re-developments that include private housing and a soon-to-be-built retirement village.

gollark: I don't know about that, they might be internally consistent but intensely weird.
gollark: Does this not make almost all news outlets right wing extremists?
gollark: So if they *don't* do some specific weird thing you want them to, they're right wing extremists?
gollark: I see. I don't actually agree with this as a sensible criticism, though.
gollark: And how do you actually know that this is "exactly as they intend"?
