A narrow concrete footpath divides the photo into left and right. On the left are residential buildings. The one closest to the camera has a very white paling fence. On the right are street plantings. Closest is a Melaleuca with its textured bark. At further distance is a young frangipani tree with its green leaves highlighted by the street lighting. The leaves cast a shadow over the paving
Here is an enclave in Newtown where street planting has been prioritised by the residents and community. It forms part of the informal walking and biking network of the inner city. Great vibe.
