Paddo. Brisvegas. A grungy little bohemian suburb quite near to the city but still quiet and leafy and noice. We love living here. There's the cafs and the bars and the really overpriced designer fashion shops and delis. There's the junkies and the uni students and the tennis playing mercedes driving trophy wives. Always an interesting mix. There's the milliondollar price tag homes and the derelict workers cottages side by side. It's hilly and palm tree laden. We have scrub turkeys, pythons, possums, bats, blue tongue lizards and gekkos everywhere. It is our little piece of heaven in the city.
You do live in a fab part of town. So you.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pic from the antique shop. Is that screen still there?
When I come out for a visit, we're going to hit all those spots and more.
ReplyDeleteAmy, it is a wardrobe, very nice, but can't afford it as it's over $1000!!
ReplyDeletePOD, it would be great to meet you in the flesh (so to speak). I live 5 minutes walk from Anielaural so lots of fun could be had!!! Start making plans now (that Chris owes you an OS vacation) XXXX Malonie
Hi Malonie
ReplyDeleteLove your oil painting treatment of the suburb - excellent colour and vibrance.
We lived at The Gap for many years, so I know that part of town well and it's lovely.
I remember when the antique centre was a men's basketball stadium! I think it was a movie theatre before that, but that was before my knowledge of the area.
Good work!
