Box Hill Blows

I arrived in Melbourne, roughly 2 days after I left, where I was promptly whisked away to my new residence, the glamorous sounding suburb of Box Hill.

Which isn't glamorous at all and is more like a China town, retirement home mash-up. It's also a dry-zone which prohibits any bars, clubs or pubs opening in the area. Great.

Two questions: Why would a:) the council want to do this and b:) would people want to actually live here? What exactly is the benefit of living in a dry-zone? It's as dull as dog-shit, there is nothing to do, literally nothing. Bizarre.

The house we're living in is pretty cool though, single storey with lots of wood floors. plus it used to be brothel, which gives it a sort-of whimsical charm.

Anyway, here's a rather energetic video someone made of Box Hill:
