This is a 2002 image of an internal reserve which, if I recall correctly, is between West Gateway and Park Drive in Avondale Heights, a north-western suburb of Melbourne containing the Milleara Estate, designed by Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin in the late 1920s. The recreational agriculture was an entirely local initiative responding to what was an otherwise neglected space. See the google map of the area here.
I have been meaning to return to this space and see what it looks like now - will report back.
* note as of 12 Jan 11 - according to Google Maps this space is known as Prospect Reserve, though it is not signposted as such. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
