Our little community sits at the point where concrete suburbia meets bushland. And like all good frontier communities, we make our own rules.
Opinion pieces from local writers exploring their suburb’s cliches and realities and how it has changed in the past 20 years.I hit a kangaroo in my new car. It was a Kia, it still is, but I’m now waiting for half of the body to come on a boat from Korea, so I won’t be seeing it for a while. But that’s OK because I live in Hurstbridge, and we are always prepared for that kind of thing out here.
But there’s more to Hurstbridge than our walkable urban design and organic produce. We’re lots of fun, too, and we love tourists. On any given day, you’ll find them tearing down the main street on their way to the Yarra Valley. You can get stuck behind a peloton for days, waiting for a moment to safely overtake on the narrow, winding roads, or you can simply stop and observe one of the many robust conversations between a cashed-up cyclist and a cashed-up tradie who have met in less-than-ideal circumstances on the road, and it’s all gone downhill from there.
The Wattle Festival also marks the one day in the year when the trains on the Hurstbridge line are guaranteed to run on time because we swap the stupid electric versions for a big old girl powered by reliable steam, so it’s worth a visit just for that.But it’s not all fun and historical games out here in Hurstbridge.
