Werribee Market Gardens
There was a time in my life when I drove past this farm and others like it every Monday night, or at least every time the Werribee/Wyndham City Council met. I reported on that council; meetings started at 7 or 7.30pm, and between about 5.30pm and the start of the meetings I’d just go for a drive around the area known as the Werribee Market Gardens in Werribee South. As the crow flies this area is close to the Melbourne CBD but when you’re there it feels a world away. I was in the area one hot morning at the start of 2025 and stopped to capture this, partly because I like ordered rows, partly because of the caravan, and partly because there will be a time not too far hence when these market gardens are but a memory. I file these pictures in the Last Chance To See folder, not because plans are imminent for this particular farm but because the vibe of this area is that development is on the march.
