Life in a letterbox - Suburban Melbourne
A reflection of life in a letterbox growing up in the suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria Australia.
Growing upI remember when home was nothing more than a bread-tin on top of a fence post, but growing up in the suburbs of Melbourne meant I got to watch the children play, ALL day! Children loved playing in the street, footy, bikes and go-carts, hop skip and jump or anything that was fun.
And being Melbourne, meant there were kids from every country on earth.
Today sadly, there is lot's to worry about including strangers, cars and other undesirables.
Time to put the community back into the suburbs.
About Street Garage Sales
The aim of SGS is to encourage residents to get together in community events.
Goals
- To encourage conversation and discussion between neighbours.
- Create a better understanding of local community issues.
- Provide a cost-free opportunity for residents to dispose of unwanted goods
This web site was designed by the team from Ripefruit [Melbourne] with assistance from enthusiastic neighbours and friends.
SGS will remain a "free" service for both visitors and advertisers. Anyone wishing to include an event in SGS Diary may do so without cost, but are invited to support one of our favourite charities. View Charities
It only takes enthusiasm to give it a go.
Sounds like a great Australian idea!
