  2. @nictea @philip @fuck_cars Pretty much the whole City of Knox (a large chunk of outer-eastern Melbourne) is 1970s and 1980s car-centric suburbia at its worst.

    The only rail in the whole area is basically Bayswater and Boronia stations on the Belgrave line. And trains only run every 30 minutes, aside from the morning and evening peak.

    Other than that, you have the SmartBus from Ringwood to Frankston, the Rowville SmartBus, and a bunch of infrequent suburban busses.

    And the stroads! There's literally a stroad called High Street Road (which is quite possibly the stroadiest name ever invented).

    And all of them — Boronia Rd, Stud Rd, Wellington Rd, Burwood Hwy, Wellington Rd, Dorset Rd — are a nightmare during peak hour.

    There's whole housing estates with detached residential homes where the only practical way to get anything is to drive.

    If anyone says Melbourne does planning well, take them out to Knox (you'll need to drive) and they'll come away with a different opinion.

  3. Was riding down Mountain Highway in #Bayswater around the T intersection with Stud Road and saw this single person width #ute. Cute little thing

    I'm not usually interested in Utes, but this is a cutie (also don't mind the Suzuki Mighty Boy)

  4. Surprised by sudden rain we escaped into.... no idea what this place is called. But Gin&Tonic! yay! :flan_party: #gintonic #bayswater #nordicblue
