Calling Tuggeranong Nappy Valley started WAY back in the late 70s early 80s when all the young couples moved out that way and built homes and hatched babies... It was hugely cheaper to to buy / build out that way compared to living in 'inner' Canberra. Plus for years it was the only place where you could actually buy land and build somewhere new......(Gungahlin was still sheep paddocks)
Queanbeyan used to be called 'Struggle City' (still is by some) as for years you only really lived out there if you were deathly poor. Homes, units, flats purchase and rentals etc were all CHEAP compared to Canberra.
