Rack Off, Ramsay

Friday 23rd November

Okay, well here it is - the picture you really wanted to see; the money shot.

We don't even watch Neighbours, haven't watched it for years, but the fact we recognised this street immediately betrays too many afternoons spent wagging RE lessons as teenagers.

And I'm sorry to have to report it's not called Ramsay Street, it's called Pin Oak Court, off Weedon Drive in Vermont South, which is about a half hour drive from the centre of Melbourne (and right on the edge of two pages in the sodding UBD, just to be awkward).

The street itself is the last cul-de-sac of many similar cul-de-sacs off Weedon Drive so it's hard to tell why they chose this one for Ramsay Street over the others. You can actually take a Grundy Television-approved tour bus out here, which might well be marginally less embarassing than turning up in a hire car and standing there with your camera while the residents mow their lawns.

So that's it, we've been to Ramsay Street; we can come home victorious.
