It’s been almost 20 years since he passed? Blimey..

I feel like this is the more shocking information.

Why have you done this to me

It’s an urban-sprawl suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne. Anyone visiting from the suburbs of the US would find it familiar, except perhaps that the birds sound different and there are sidewalks.

Truly a land of beauty and contrasts

Half joking of course. There are bits of Ferntree Gully and nearby which are beautiful

Ok what is going on with the lady pushing the cart, her legs look all twisted and not aligned with her body?

European style carts all 4 wheels steer. She’s doing the Ikea power slide either because it’s fun or because it tried to get away.

That’s just what people look like in Ferntree Gully.

It looks like she’s doing what I do with the Ikea carts when they inexplicably give me 6DOF.

It says Upper Ferntree Gully though.

Me, a person from EU without any idea where this is: So not like those Lower Ferngully peasants 🧐

Upper Ferntree Gully people both literally and figuratively look down on the people in Ferntree Gully.
Though back in 62 when he was born, it would have still been pretty rustic.

Your title is warranted and exactly appropriate for this level of information.

That piece of information is lodged firmly inside my psyche now.

I used to live their for a year during my work and holiday trip to Australia. Coming from the crouded streets of Kathmandu it was quite the culture shock to sudenly live in a place where pedestrans were something you almost never encountered. It felt like i imagine an american suburb to be, without ever having seen one.
