Brand new Denman Prospect residents Shiv and Tessa Goundar admit they do have some of the qualities of Infante’s fictional demographic: both are aged between 20 and 30, are well educated (they met while studying commerce at ANU) and live a busy life filled with socialising, exercising and pursuing their dreams.
“I’ve never heard of the term Yuccie but a little research shows that it does cover some aspects of our lives,” Tessa says.
“It will be interesting to see how the demographic of Denman unfolds moving forward but we’re looking forward to being surrounded by other young families, like-minded people and potentially some other Yuccies.”
But the suburb’s proximity to a very famous mountain bike track was the real clincher.
“I love anything to do with bikes – mountain biking, cycling and motorbikes. So for me, Denman is just a dream come true,” he says.
“The mountain bike and road cycle tracks are at our doorstep, as well as the Cotter for motorcycle riding.”
“And when we move in, I’ll probably never see him again,” Tessa laughs.
It’s a big year for the Goundars. The couple is due to move into their Denman Prospect home in July, and Shiv and Tessa’s first child (and Denman Prospect’s very first baby) is expected to arrive in September.
“We’ve effectively lived in apartments our whole relationship so we can’t wait to move in, spread out and just enjoy the little things – like a garage and a yard,” Tessa says.
“We can see ourselves at Denman for a long time to come.”
