Forrest (postcode: 2603) is an affluent suburb of
Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Forrest is named after Sir John Forrest, an
explorer, legislator, federalist, premier of Western
Australia, and one of the fathers of the Australian
Constitution. Streets in Forrest are named after
explorers and governors. According to the
Australian Bureau of Statistics Forrest is the second
most Socio-Economic advantaged location in
Australia after the neighbouring suburb of Barton.

Forrest is one of the few suburbs in Canberra built
to the original Canberra plans. It contains many
circular and geometric patterns in its streets and
can be quite confusing to drive in.
