Aranda (postcode: 2614) is a suburb in the district of Belconnen, in the Australian capital city of Canberra. Aranda is the eastern most suburb in Belconnen, located at the western foot of Black Mountain. Bounded on two sides by nature park, the suburb is characterised by its bush setting. During the planning and development of the suburb, a large proportion of large native trees – predominantly eucalypts – were left in place. The suburb derives its name from the Arrernte tribe of Central Australia, previously known as ''Arunta'', which means 'White Cockatoo'. The streets in Aranda are named after Aboriginal tribal groups from around Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Suburb Name search results )〕 The suburb comprises an area of 160ha and in 1967 was the first suburb in Belconnen to be settled.
