Hi guys. I have recently moved to Footscray and don't know the area or surrounding suburbs at all.
I have friends coming over for brunch on Sunday and we'd like to go out rather than stay indoors.
I've started the online research but haven't found anything promising.

Any recommendations?...Read Full Article»

Clearly if they are going to encourage this kind of thing, they should at least install some curtains!

I'm thinking it would be kind of cool to have a couple of black/UV lights in my new house... anyone know where I can pick some up from? Do they fit into regular light fittings? Somewhere near Thornbury, city or Footscray would be best. Any idea how much they cost?

Apologies for making a selling post. Most of these will probably end up being packed off to second-hand dealerships, but I figure I might as well see here if anybody is interested first. Cheap, because I can't remember in most cases what I payed for them originally, but all in very good condition and some unread. Pick up can be in the city, Footscray or Yarraville... or anywhere between Yarraville and the city, really. Any time of day, any day but Sunday, but it can depend as I'm in casual work.

Coode Island, an almost uninhabited industrial area, is 4 km. west of Melbourne. It was formed in 1886 when canal was cut through the Sandridge swamp to provide a straightened stream for the Yarra River. The boundaries were the canal on the south, the Maribyrnong River on the west and the Yarra meander on the north and east. Its area was 97 ha. It was named after Sir John Coode, an English harbour engineer who was engaged by the Melbourne Harbor Trust to select the optimum route for the canal as part of the Port of Melbourne.

Coode chose the canal route so as to avoid dangerous tidal ebbs and inflows that would occur along one that went straight from the Yarra River docks to Hobsons Bay. Inflows endangered flood-prone land upstream as far as Gardiners Creek, by the banking up of stream waters. The route also ensured that the Yarra waters would discharge into the river mouth, scouring the bay and reducing silt deposition. ...Read Full Article»

Last year, while flipping through the channels I stumbled upon Anatomy for Beginners, the show where Dr. Gunther von Hagen disects cadaveurs. Almost a year later, I have watched a few more episodes of the show and have learned a bit about plastination, the process of making you into a workable cadaver. Am I ready to go to the next level?...Read Full Article»
