Prospect Reserve, Avondale Heights

Why would anyone venture down this laneway in Avondale Heights?

This is one of the internal reserves success stories of Melbourne; a local community has been encouraged by local government to use their internal reserve for agricultural pursuits. It brings the residents together and has produced a valued space for passive recreation.

And this is Sam, long-term resident (be built his house in the early 1980s, the first on its site). He migrated to Australia from Macedonia in the early 60s. He is one of the most active gardeners in the reserve.

I have not been able to find out anything at all about the estate surrounding this IR but I am going to suggest it is a subdivision of land ...
