I grew up in St Kilda, Melbourne we lived there till the 80’s. What was St Kilda like well it was totally different. Rough, fast and chaos I was only young and grew up in one of the roughest area around Melbourne. My parents had a mini supermarket in fitzroy st across the road from all the high rise apartment/ commission complex, me and my younger brother and sister seen alot of things that you’d wish young children would never experience. From stabbings to shootings it was ful on back in the early 80’s. Bojangles night club was the roughest area lucky we were too young to mingle there.
Luna Park was a 5 min drive away and dad use to take us down every now and then, st Kilda beach was a beautiful place to play and fish also.
We attendant the St Kilda Primary school a historicle landmark it was only 1 block away from were we use to live above mum and dad’s business. I drove down to Melbourne a few weeks ago and by golly things have changed for the better. St Kilda is a mega tourist place now, eateries everywhere the beach cleaner. It bought a few good memories back when we use to live here 25 odd yeas ago. My god time flys.. To be continued……
