Stopped off in the rain this morning.

I thought it was worth it! 😁

There are over over 650 species of , which is a flowering succulent plant. The most widely known species is Aloe vera.

The leaves of contain significant amounts of the polysaccharide gel; acemannan, which can be used for a wide range of medical purposes.

I’ve used this on sunburn in past years and it is a magic potion… for relief and skin regeneration.

Upon approaching this mural in it soon became apparent there was more to this space than met the eye.

This little area sprung up about a month ago and it’s a public breakout area, with two community libraries (medium sized boxes, see left of frame in first pic) containing books that the local residents borrow, swap and replenish for everyone else to read.

These community libraries have been springing up around Melbourne in a serious way, during the latter part of the past decade and I’m heartened by the social spirit - and cohesion this fosters within local communities.

Terrific for sharing top reads for all ages and demographics and of course, they often best serve those less financially advantaged.

And of course, perfect for those locals who cannot visit the library due to proximity, mobility issues or transport challenges - and who wish to share and receive knowledge and recreational enjoyment.

🙏💖

Look at this awesome brickwork and external facade.

More man-made beauty… two shop fronts that are rustic and still display a little of their history of the past!

Couldn’t make out the signage, but the property on the right, in is now a little cafe.

Yes, stopped the car for this gorgeous pink that was calling out to me to share with you.

Isn’t it just beautiful?
