History Ainslie is a leafy suburb of Canberra, Australia in the North Canberra district. The suburb is bounded by Limestone Avenue and Majura Avenue to the west and north, Phillip Avenue to the north-east, Mount Ainslie to the east and Quick Street to the south. Ainslie is within walking distance of the City, the nature trails of Mount Ainslie, the Australian War Memorial and the many restaurants of Dickson. It has many attractions: a central location, with equally easy access to the CBD and the bush trails of Mount Ainslie; the abundance of charming early twentieth-century, heritage-listed houses; mature deciduous street trees and general leafiness; and a vibrant local shopping centre. James Ainslie was a veteran of the Battle of Waterloo. The suburb was named after him in 1928 and is a typical Canberra suburb with three housing precincts planned on Garden City principles that were gazetted onto the ACT Government's Heritage Register in 2004. Ainslie was employed by Robert Campbell to find suitable land in 1825. Ainslie chose the Limestone Plains and was overseer for ten years before returning to Scotland. Iris Carnell, born in 1900, recalls her mother Celia Tong, born in 1871 who remembered as a little girl what is now Corroboree Park, as a scene of aboriginal corroborees. The first stage of the Corroboree Park precinct was constructed between 1925 and 1927 to accommodate tradesmen for the construction of the city. The first stage of the Wakefield Gardens precinct was constructed between 1925 and 1929 to accommodate lower income public servants and workers.
