Since starting this blog, I have found myself discovering more and more about the West and our fellow residents in the West who are contributing to better living in this beloved region.
Last week, I chanced upon a blog entitled "Beautiful Altona" by Anthony Ang who is a fellow Singaporean. If you are looking for anything to do with Altona, its market, its beach, etc and heaps more interesting stuff about Victoria, check out the blog. He even researched the possibility of earthquake and volcanic history in Melbourne. His blog is very informative and I think he has incidentally made himself a great ambassador for Singapore too.
There is also another blog, Footscray Foodblog, by Lauren aka Ms Baklover who "loves Melbourne's maligned western suburbs and want to reveal them as the treasure trove they really are". Her Footscray Food Blog has been selected to be archived in perpetuity by the National Library of Australia's web archive,Pandora . The archive "aims to build a comprehensive collection of Australian publications to ensure that Australians have access to their documentary heritage now and in the future". How awesome is that!!!
The discoveries are so encouraging! I am sure the Western Suburbians will be proud to learn that there are so many hidden treasures in the West.
