Westlake in Canberra is a ghost town on the outskirts of Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory. Westlake was a suburb of Canberra from 1922 until 1965. Remnants of constructions and buildings are still visible today. He continues "Westlake was planned and built. Families were moved in, went to work, built friendships, got married, had children, created gardens, held funerals. The temporary suburb became a community. But when it had served its purpose and the workers were no longer required, the houses were sold off one by one and taken away on the backs of trucks. Westlake was erased."
