Sewerage ghost towns. They exist.

Just ask Sorrowing Father, Dear Daughter and Blackened Boy, and Yankee doodle dandy that smiles with the eyes and his shadowy mate. They and other colourful characters tell the unique and untold story of the community once living alongside sewage lagoons and paddocks watered 24 hours a day with MelbourneÕs sewage.

A story like no other that combines fact, memory and legendary tale, told by the ghosts of the past through a timeless reality.

A must-read literary nonfiction about the families that built and maintained the Metropolitan Sewerage Farm: from early workers and their families camping on the foreshore in the 1890s, living and working through the Great Depression, both world wars and boom times of the 1950s, to ultimately abandon homes in the 1980s to leave a sewerage ghost town.

Tropical Fringe Fun for My Summer Outfits
Color: Natural, Color: Natural
I am absolutely obsessed with this straw purse because it feels like a vacation in my hand. The first thing I noticed is how the raffia fringe has this playful half moon shape that looks like a little lion mane but in a very high fashion way. My daughter even joked that it looks like a giant fancy taco which makes it such a fun and unique piece to carry around. It is incredibly lightweight which is a huge relief because I do not want to carry a heavy bag when the weather is hot. Even though it looks compact on my mannequin, it is surprisingly roomy inside and fits my phone and all my daily essentials without feeling stuffed. The magnetic closure is quite strong so I do not have to worry about my things falling out while I am walking around a summer party or a night out. The neutral tan and cream colors in the fringe make it very easy to match with almost any outfit I own. I really appreciate the small metal brand patch on the front because it gives the bag a more polished and expensive look than a typical straw tote you might find at a souvenir shop. One thing to keep in mind is that the raffia is very textured so you should probably be careful with delicate silk fabrics so it does not snag. It feels very sturdy and well made for something that is woven from grass and I love how the fringe adds so much movement when I am moving around. This bag is definitely going to be my go to accessory for the rest of the season because it is both stylish and very practical for my needs.
