Yesterday carloads of tourists and residents made the trek to “Chuck” Norris Park, some posed for photos others just wanting to see what all the fuss was about.

The US action hero has become the talk of the town after a better than average piece of graffiti appeared at the weekend on the sign at the corner of Union and Burrows roads.

The suburb, formerly known as Norris Park, was rebadged on Good Friday.

Using the same font as the suburban sign a “Chuck” was added as was a silhouette of the martial arts TV star of Walker Texas Ranger and the phrase “keep on chuckin’”.

Insiders say it is a professional job, much more effective than similar vandalism which occurred in 2004 where “Chuck” was spraypainted on a sign in front of the words Norris Park.

Darren Wright lives directly behind the sign and says it is the best thing that has happened at the intersection.

But as a self-confessed Chuck Norris fan he says it wasn’t him.

“Normally cars fly through this roundabout but this has been the quietest weekend I can remember,” Mr Wright said.

“Since the sign appeared cars slow down, people stop, we must have had about 100 carloads of people pull here in the past few days.

“In the past there have been pretty ordinary attempts with a spray can but this must have been done by a signwriter.”

Travis Lafferty, 26, pulled up with a mate to take a picture of the sign.

“Maybe they should just rename Norris Park and be done with it,” he said.

The sentiment is not uncommon in the suburb named after a miner.

Craig Campbell lives two doors from the corner and he agrees.

“It certainly has created some interest over the weekend,” he said.

“You just have to watch the cars slow down as they go through the roundabout everyone turns to have a look.”

Viv Cummins has lived near the sign for the past seven years.

She too is a fan of the pop culture hero but denies any involvement.

“In the past the attempts have been tacky but this is a professional job,” she said.

“It is a bit of fun and has everyone in the neighbourhood talking, perhaps they should leave it as it is.”
