Ty and Chelsea love a
good story, and they
have plenty of tales to
tell family and friends
about purchasing their
home at King’s Leigh!
“The more we found out,
the more we fell in love with
the idea of King’s Leigh.
~
Ty, Kings Leigh purchaser
The couple happened upon
King’s Leigh whilst driving around
Werribee; the area they had
identified as the place to settle
down. Initially drawn to King’s
Leigh’s lush streetscapes and
design, they also loved that there
was a story behind the name.
“We really liked that the name
King’s Leigh acknowledges the
area’s indigenous Yawangi tribe.
The last surviving member of the
tribe was Billy Leigh, who was also
known as King Billy,” said Ty.
Upon purchasing a home in
a fantastic location with a park
view in stage 10, Ty and Chelsea
pondered whether their new street
name, Carroll Street, had a story
behind it too. Having read about
the Alice in Wonderland inspired
park being created at King’s Leigh,
it didn’t take them long to work out
that this street name referenced
Alice in Wonderland’s author,
Lewis Carroll.

Jaqueline Yuen explains: “King’s
Leigh’s themes of sumptuous lush
greenery and leafy extravagance
hinted at the idea of a secret garden
full of wonder and delight. The
landscape architects also drew
from King’s Leigh’s tucked away
nature - a hidden treasure that’s
quite special and magical once
discovered.”
“The more we found out, the
more we fell in love with the idea of
King’s Leigh. Stories bring people
together and it’s so exciting to have
so many stories to tell about our
new home,” Ty said.
It’s All in the Name ¬ King’s Leigh
Ty and Chelsea loved the fact that the name King’s Leigh acknowledges the area’s indigenous Yawangi tribe.
