Monday Mural

Perhaps this very large mural demonstrates the diversity of the inner eastern suburb of Richmond. It certainly has a great diversity of drugs to be bought on the street. But yes, regardless, it is an interesting and has a very diverse population. There was lots of police on the streets as there is a nearby drug injecting facility and the open on street selling of drugs was a problem. But my god, how cheap are the fruit and vegetables in Richmond. A few days later we were in the western suburb of Footscray, another quite diverse area, but the Richmond fruit and vegetable prices beat the Footscray Market hands down.

As always we brunched at the Victoria Lounge Cafe and Sandwich Bar. The Asian owner is so handsome, the food is great and not expensive, the service is good and it has on street seating in two streets. Hey, I should get a free meal for such a glowing review. No website but reviewed at Tripadvisor.

Why were we in Richmond? Household Management needed a large packet of satay powder. It's the only place we know where we can buy it. I can always find the shop among the many grocery shops because it is called Hung ??? something. Make of that what you will.
