The local newspapers relied on just one or two reporters to cover news items, not just for City of Monash, but also other cities depending on the size of the companies they work with. It was a Sunday afternoon drive that led my wife and I to this city. We stood on a barren hill, looking at the Dandenong mountains at the distance, and immediately we made up our mind to purchase a block of land, hop
ing to build our dream home. 4 years later, we saved enough money to set our plan in motion, and the rest is history. We have moved from the house we built, but still lived in the city. The name of the city has been changed from City of Waverley to City of Monash. From the balcony cm blog-room of my present home, I can see the Dandenong mountain, and occasionally if I am still awake around the hours of sunrise, I can enjoy sight of the sun slowly and lazily climbs out of bed and stretches out its arms of rays, and within an hour or so, turns on the light to transform the pitch-black sky into a bright canvass, dotted with cotton-like clouds. I always have my digital camera and mobile phone camera ready to snap photos of interest, especially events organised by the Council. Due to privacy reason, I cannot publish my photos of people publicly at wish, and therefore, most of my snapshots are about special activities, foods, buildings, parks and gardens. Life in City of Monash is fast enough for me. It has extremely few high rise monstrous buildings, but does have some opulent architect designed houses, and many more 60s era brick veneer homes. It has a fairly well balanced demographics. On the surface, City of Monash is very multicultural, but most of the small businesses, especially the food related ones, are dominated by the Asians. I love the sight, sound, smell and feel of the City. I like to publicise My City of Monash to the people here and everywhere how lucky I am to be a resident here.
