The Swinger Hill housing estate is located in Phillip
but separated by Hindmarsh and Athllon Drives
from the main part of Phillip. The name
Swinger Hill follows the pattern of calling local
trigonometrical points after the surveyor who
surveyed them, in this case Louis Walter Henry
Swinger (1901–1943) who surveyed this area.

The Swinger Hill development was built in the
1970s, some years after Phillip itself, as an estate of
mixed townhouses. Some of the houses in Barnet
Close in Swinger Hill are listed by the Royal
Australian Institute of Architects as significant
twentieth century architecture, and were given
heritage listing in the ACT in late 2011.
