The most lovely Fedeterranean Home in Marrickville?







I can't believe I've been walking past this house for years and never noticed how lovely it is. Perhaps it's because Spring has arrived that it caught my eye - the garden is delightful. Part of me loves the order and prettiness apparent here although I know I could never achieve these heights myself. See more photos in this set on my flickr account.

    Hi,

    This is a great blog! I'm a relatively recent Marrickville resident [2 years?] having moved in from the Blue Mountains. Your blog has shown me how little of this little suburb I've explored!

    I particularly enjoyed the little "reviews" of the shops around here. How do you go about talking to the shopkeepers? Do you identify yourself as an academic/whatever or just start friendly chats?

    My partner tried to comment here the other day but the system failed her, let's see how this goes...

    Hi Kristian,

    Well I know some people who moved from Marrickville to the Blue Mountains, but you're the first I know to have done it the other way around. Welcome! I tell the shopkeepers that I'm writing for a blog. Most of them don't know what that is... so I just say "internet" & that seems to do the trick. I always ask if it's ok to quote them & put their pictures up.

    Great house, Meredith.

    What about doing a post on that guy who recently put his cigarette out in a baby's face, while the poor bub was just sitting in his stroller. It's not really Marrickville, but close enough (Dulwich Hill?): the corner of Illawarra Road and New Canterbury Road. There's a pub there on the corner that would make a great backdrop.

    Gosh... I seem to have remained blissfully unaware of that particular incident. Where was it reported? I did a quick google but didn't find it.

    Hi Meredith,

    Here's a couple of stories:

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/man-puts-cigarette-in-childs-eye/2006/07/30/1154198004523.html

    If you put 'cigarette child dulwich' into Google, you'll get it all.

    And it wasn't Illawarra Road, it was on the corner of Marrickville Road and New Canterbury Road.
