I have lived around this suburb for some time now, I am in my mid twenties, and I know of heaps and heaps and heaps of people who wish and hope that soon they will be saved from relentless endeavours into Melbourne’s inner suburbs to enjoy a really good night out.

I am refering to the lack any kind of funky bar in Berwick aimed at the over eighteens’ and under thirties age group.. yes, it’s true.

We need something around here to get happenning! There is an abundance of local musicians and interesting folks who would benefit greatly from something more culturally stimulating in Berwick than a conservative pub or resturant bar. I have watched so many people I know move out of this area to be closer to some kind of stimulating and more diverse nightlife scene. I think that’s kind of disappointing considering that Casey has the largest population of young people in Australia. When will the local proprieters’ catch onto this reality and use it - both to their own advantage and the community’s? 

You know it my fellow people… don’t ya?

For those locals to the Berwick area of Melbourne - do not forget about Wilson Botanic Park. I must admit - I hadn’t visited the place for a couple of years - and I have lived within the general area for coming on seventeen years now.. it’s so lovely there!

I was delighted to see so many long necked turtles in the lakes there, as well as other interesting diving birds such as cormorants and herrons. I feel really grateful to be so close to such a place where I feel an escape from the suburban rooftops. Nearly all of the gardens are labelled with details of both native and introduced species providing an educational opportunity for children and adults. Life gets so busy that I had forgotten about this special place, right under my nose. At the moment I walk my dog there nearly every day.. and I hope to have a bit of a little party there soon with my buddies just to celebrate and enjoy summer days.
