Port Melbourne is a strange place. Apart from confusingly not. Being home to hundreds of shipping containers, anyone over 25 will tell you that, not so long ago, it was a real gritty working-class suburb. But you wouldn't know that now, with all the gleaming bay frontage apartment blocks, multi-storey Victorian renovations and fancy European cars around. Not that the local business association.

Spencer's Guide to Port Melbourne: En Garde
http://www.spencersguide.org/2015/05/en-garde.html
Monday, 1 June 2015. Port Melbourne is hardly famed for its farmyard animals, so the sight of a portly chicken freely wandering the pavements of Rouse Street. Must surely raise many a neatly plucked. Although this hen actually seems convinced that it's a guard dog. As it barks a warning to passers by of what is presumably its home. Along with the private fish market. Next door, this is a delightfully nostalgic corner of town. 28 September 2015 at 20:35. Please note anonymous comments may not be published.

Spencer's Guide to Port Melbourne: Inflationless
http://www.spencersguide.org/2014/06/inflationless.html
Thursday, 26 June 2014. In the first year. After I started my highly scientific annual comparison. Of grocery prices there was a fair degree of change, but since then the price of tins of Whiskas. Has remained surprisingly static. The relative pricing of these supermarkets and servos too has managed to remain the same for a full five years now.
