Wanniassa

Wanniassa is a suburb in the Tuggeranong district of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The suburb takes its name from a pastoral property granted to Thomas McQuoid in 1835, which he named after Wanayasa in Purwakarta Regency, West Java, Indonesia, where McQuoid had previously owned property. Streets are named after Victorian state politicians and the suburb was gazetted on 21 May 1974.
