Nevis Court Reserve, Endeavour Hills Vic.

Endeavour Hills in Melbourne's south-west dates from the early 70s when it was developed by Lewis Land; it was reported in the Melbourne Age in 1974* that it would ultimately have a population of 40 000. As you can see from the google map there remains a lot of open space throughout at various sizes and presumed uses. 

Nevis Court Reserve is, essentially, a playground reserve with pathways going to three corners. All four corners of the reserve are exposed to the surrounding cul-de-sac roads. This visit 21 December 2018, hence the polar bears surveilling the space alongside the magpies. 







 A concreted space for a bench, presumably.
