Night Strolling


It kind of spoils it to give it context…Let’s just say that now’s a very good time to wander down Gertrude Street, Fitzroy after dark. Between Fitzroy and Smith Streets some of the buildings have fantastic visions emanating from their windows. There are video messages coming out of the pavements and even from the tree trunks. Our favourite though is Radio’s round window, which is screening a few Slow-inspired films.

And for those of you who simply must know (and who turn to the back of the book before finishing), click here to find out what it’s about.

We walked past the old Rob Roy, whose windows 'projected' the housing commission towers across the road. All except for one that did some funky kaleidoscopic thing with stills of whoever was standing in front of the window. Which was even cuter when I noticed a silhouette of the operator's hand just on the other side of the glass. I just assumed it would be some kind of automated thing. It was nice to know there was a human there.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
