This morning Perry and I set out to go west and find some examples of the country in the city for a lecture I have to write about escaping the city. We had our eyes set on Derrimut Grasslands, which is an area controlled and operated by Parks Victoria as, yes, a park.
To get there we drove through Sunshine and West Sunshine and went the length of the Avenue, which struck me as a pretty extraordinary looking street so I thought, I definitely need to get some shots of this whatever happens. Then, whatever did happen - passing two sides of Derrimut Grasslands it quickly became clear that firstly, it is a big open stretch of grasslands without much else of interest i.e. it is a nature reserve not a park and secondly, you can't get in.
So we turned around, parked in a street off The Avenue and walked the Avenue. It has some amazing houses and other amazing things in it, wait till we get to No. 15! But first...
