My local area

Some of the images you'll see on this site are from around my local area, particularly Newport, Williamstown and Altona. If you'd like to know more about the history of these suburbs and their place in the history of European settlement of Melbourne, then I recommend the excellent Victorian Places website.

My home is on the traditional lands of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation, who have a connection with this area going back at least 30,000 years. Some information about the Inigenous history in our area is available on the Hobsons Bay City Council website.
