    @Ken Anderson
    Elizabeth is a very popular name in Australia ….it’s also a name of many businesses in the suburb of Elizabeth


    Elizabeth was set up a Satellite city about 36 km from the city centre to house 100’s families who immigrated from the UK
    in the 1950’s to work in the Holden car factory , many of immigrants worked their whole working life in the Holden factory that produced cars from 1948 to 2017
    It was named after Queen Elizabeth who “opened” many businesses and of course the main road in-the area is called Phillip highway

    So there’s a little history lesson about the Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth .
