Carringbush

Novelist Frank Hardy used Carringbush as the name for Collingwood in Power without glory (1950), his fictionalised account of the life of John Wren. The pseudonym became so well associated with the suburb in later decades that it was embraced by the local community and adopted by businesses, sporting clubs and the regional library.
