Saturday, November 10, 2012  Crossing two rivers Pt 2  What do
we have here? It was a cotton mill. Now it is a mix of
residential apartments and offices for small business. There is
a good photo here. I've just had a light flash. We once went to
a warehouse dance party somewhere near the river in about this
location. I just discovered the Cotton Mills used be called
Global Village and dance parties were held there. It must be the
same place. Something has prevented me having a strong memory of
the night. No, it wasn't there. The party we went to was in what
is now the Lonely Planet building and Marcia Hines performed. As
someone just told me, there was no proper dance floor, only
concrete and everyone left quite unaware they were covered in
concrete dust.  It just goes to show we don't need massive
developments and the destruction of perfectly good buildings to
increase population density.  This development is close to the
river, a city bus line and it is not too far to walk to the
transport hub at Footscray.
