There’s a book I’m reading that I can’t put down.

It has descriptions that make me re-trace my steps, tells of the extreme previous conditions of the landscapes I walk everyday, involves both imagination and historical fact–and on top of all this, it’s funny.

The only way I knew the name Bearbrass, was because of the cafe in Southbank. But it turns out, that this was the previous name of our current city: Melbourne.

If you know the CBD half as well as you think you do (and there’s a lot of people out there like me who take pride in their laneway knowledge) I recommend picking up Robyn Annear’s book, Bearbrass.
