I think I have previously been to Altona, but I don’t recall why I was there and in any event it was many, many years ago. I recall that it was a “sleepy hollow”, perhaps little more than a quiet train station, a milk bar and perhaps a fish and chip shop.
Be that as it may, C and I called in to Altona on our return from the Cheetham Wetlands. Well, it’s no longer “sleepy hollow”. Yes, the fish and chip shop is still there (we parked next to it!), but the milk bar has morphed into a number of coffee shops and mid-range restaurants. Although there’s still a rather “suburban” feel to the place, part of the street has been closed off (for summer? or for covid?) so as to allow outdoor dining in a mall setting.
The day had warmed up, and we enjoyed our coffee, followed by a walk out the wooden pier.
