FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Why this remote dusty junction will soon be buzzing with activity - The Untold Story

Mention Piccadilly Circus to most Canberrans and their minds immediately fly across the ocean to London's famous intersection. They picture a frantic swirl of double-decker buses, black cabs, selfie-snapping tourists and flashing neon billboards, all locked in a permanent state of noisy, organised chaos.

But if you are one of the few who has ventured beyond the Cotter and Uriarra into our high country, you'll know we have our very own Piccadilly Circus. And to say it's less hectic would be an understatement.
