Would you like fries with that tan ???

Has anyone else noticed that in Gordon Park the Beauty shops have Food type names and the Foodie places have - other names ??

Melt - Hair and Beauty - Khartoum and Cowper Streets -

Cocoa and Cream - A Tanning Salon - Corner of Richmond Street and Stafford Road

And then there are the coffee and food places:

Silky Oak Espresso - a hole in the wall on the corner of Richmond Street and Stafford Road

The "walking Macaroon" - Marche du Macaron - on Thistle Street

And the saucily named - Mistress of Spice - further along Thistle Street

Owners who clearly have a sense of humour, a sense of theatre, a passion for words and a passion for their businesses.

Just love it !

Look What I Found......

As I was walking the other day I came across this park in Khartoum Street - the "official" description of the suburb says there is extensive parkland along the banks of Kedron Brook but fails to mention this lovely oasis. 

A Playground, BBQ, seating and magnificent shade trees make it a lovely little haven.

The sign says it is Gordon Park Playground Park - descriptive but not very imaginative.

I am on a mission to find out the history of this little green space.
