Lyons Lyons is a fairly typical Canberra suburb. Along with a number of others it is named after a Prime Minister of the 20's and 30's - Joe Lyons from Tasmania. All the streets are named after places in Tasmania. Risdon is a small town outside Hobart. The headquarters of Canberra's taxi service is also there.
Roads are modern and wide.
There are many deciduous and evergreen trees. Front fences for houses are not allowed which makes roads and streets even more spacious. The suburb rises up the western side of the Woden Valley. This valley runs north-south and has a population of about 50000. The Woden Town Centre adjoins Lyons.
