This is one of a few street signs located along the path of the Rosstown Railway.
This is an artistic rendering of an unused electrical substation located along the rail trail.
This concrete plaque is embedded in the bitchumen footpath in Rosanna St Reserve. The Rosstown Railway Heritage Trail is an unusual kind of rail trail, covering the former Rosstown Railway line in Melbourne, Australia. Almost the entire length of the former private railway has been replaced by roads, except for one section of off-road multi-use path, west of Grange Road. The trail is marked by signs in various places. It is approximately 7 km in total length.
The sign reads, "The simple things in life are often the best".
This heritage weatherboard home has been restored to its original beauty. The distinct mustard-coloured paint motif and the bullnose awning shouts "well-loved". Note the pressed metal cladding in the gable ends above the awnings, an authentic feature of these homes.
This inter-war home is one of thousands built in Melbourne from 1910 to 1939. They were attractive, inexpensive to build and featured 12-13 foot ceilings. Usually, the front roof was sloped to a single story level, but often the back roof level was elevated to conceal a two story section of the home. This second story was often added as the occupants required more space for growing families.
This double-fronted double-brick home is in sad shape. But one day, somone will buy it and bring it back to its former glory.
