Itâs a lovely place to chill on a sunny summer morning. Next to it is a mini greek amphitheatre - stand on the bronze disk and speak normally and your voice is magnified by the surrounding walls. There was often performances there in summer pre-covid - and I expect these will start up again fairly soon. A beautiful space.

Went to Fairfield boathouse this weekend. Havenât been before. Very Old Timey style. Had decent scones and a some very nice walking tracks next to the Yarra. Would be amazing if they gave it a renno like Studley park. I think the location is actually nicer than Studley park, due to the walks and views. Would go again.

I did wonder if the amphitheatre was ever used! Hopefully they reinstate it.

Attended a performance of Euripidesâ The Bacchae there. Powerful and strange. Especially in the kind of setting the play was intended to be performed in. I really got it then that theatre had its roots in religious ritual.

Gave my dad haircut there back in COVID days as it was in between both our lock down distances ⌠Oppa-covid-styleâŚ
