As mentioned in Walk 31 (and a little of Walk 2) this is my home turf, a strip of land between the railway tracks and the Albany Highway that people in the real estate biz like to call 'the Golden Triangle'. Why? No idea, but I like the way it sounds and I love this area to bits. Most of its houses date back to the 1960s (my parents' home included, as with my own) and some earlier. A few streets went up in the very late 1970s / early 1980s, such as Fountains Court. There are a ton of parks dotted around, it's close to the town centre (very close) and being near the railway line has tremendous advantages. It's not glamorous but it's a handy place to be.
