More Newtown

Every little walk we do in this neighbourhood brings fresh delights. Last Saturday we set out on foot for Eveleigh markets, a food and produce market held once a month in a cluster of old railway buildings.

On the way we passed a mysterious street sign,

a modern fresco,

and this fine row of terrace houses facing an equally fine row of fig trees.

In this inner city area there are few back lanes, and even if there are, the backyards are often too small to accommodate a parking space. As a result, streets are lined with cars at all times.
