      My grandfather at one point during his time working at the bank worked at CBA in Footscray. My mum tells me that he knew the Footscray CBD streets well.

        Given Pat's recent "Pete Evans" turn, I'm gonna say he's not really all there.

                    If I'm not mistaken it looks like it is near Sims supermarket in Footscray just up the road from the Western Oval.

                      Warleigh Road maybe? Would have been great to check that out but I’m more than 5Km away.

                        Yep did street view on Warleigh Road and found it. On the West Footscray side.

                            As mentioned it's Warleigh Rd in West Footscray opposite Sims. The fence is repainted a few times a year.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              Not far from your old house Twodogs.

                                I feel bad every day about the lockdown you guys are enduring again and hope things improve soon. In particular my thoughts are with all those impacted financially because of the pandemic. I just hope everything is OK and whilst I know the 'world around us' can escalate the importance of our footy team just remember that whatever the outcome Sunday it is still just a game.
                                What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
