482 Willy Rd

  Since moving into 482 Willy Rd Port Melbourne, the noise on Williamstown Rd has been deafening and always busy with some Council equipment or earth moving apparatus. My sense of hearing soon became accustomed to these noises and what struck me most were the wind chimes hanging from a tree in the garden; very relaxing, especially at night time. The wind in the trees rustles the leaves and along with the wind chimes, gives the place an atmosphere that can be tranquil amongst the traffic noise.

My sense of smell has been awakened by the many barbeques that have been had here with succulent meats and gourmet breakfasts. Never before have I developed such an appreciation for good food. The garden provides herbs and fruits to garnish the good food.

There is always a sense that something untoward is going to happen, being on high alert for some trouble that may occur keeps you on your toes. There is never a dull moment living here.

The new shed that has been built has provided shelter from the storm of all these elements, including the weather, and has given the residents a sense of pride and achievement. Many stories and tales are told underneath the shed and many more will fill the atmosphere with all the sights and senses you could ever imagine.
