LocalPro Plumb The Great Can Wall of Moorabbin: Humanitys Pinnacle Achievement Move over Great Wall of China, step aside Pyramids of Giza, and don’t even bother showing up, Leaning Tower of Pisa—there’s a new marvel in town. Nestled in the heart of Moorabbin, at a seemingly unremarkable suburban intersection, stands a towering testament to human ingenuity, perseverance, and a healthy appreciation for beer: The Great Can Wall of Moorabbin. From the moment you lay eyes on this shimmering fortress of aluminum, you are struck by its sheer audacity. Spanning what appears to be an entire window, this masterpiece is not merely a wall—it is a statement. A declaration that says, “Why recycle when you can repurpose? Why conform when you can create?” A Monument to Humanity’s Greatest Pastime In an era where cultural divisions seem to widen by the day, The Great Can Wall reminds us of what truly unites us as a species: the universal act of cracking open a cold one. The selection of cans is a veritable United Nations of brews—lagers, IPAs, stouts, and perhaps even the occasional cider—each one telling its own story of thirst quenched and evenings well spent. A Dynamic Work of Art Unlike static marvels such as Stonehenge or the Eiffel Tower, The Great Can Wall is a living, breathing piece of art. Each week, new cans are added, creating an ever-evolving tapestry of modern drinking culture. Some might call it hoarding; I call it commitment. Location, Location, Location Strategically positioned at a busy intersection, the wall offers a fleeting glimpse of brilliance to commuters stuck in traffic. What better way to ponder your own lifes direction than staring at a wall made entirely of empty beer cans? It’s interactive art at its finest—forcing you to confront your own choices while admiring someone else’s. Social Commentary or Suburban Escapism? Critics have debated whether the wall is a cry for help or a celebration of excess. Is it a bold critique of consumerism? A subtle jab at Australia’s soaring real estate costs? Or is it simply a man (or woman) declaring their love for tinnies in the most public way possible? Regardless of its intent, The Great Can Wall resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever said, “Just one more.” A Must-See Tourist Destination Move over Brighton Beach Boxes and Luna Park—Moorabbin is the new cultural epicenter of Melbourne. Tourists are flocking from far and wide, armed with cameras and a thirst for inspiration (and possibly a cold VB). Local businesses are already cashing in, with rumors of a nearby bottle shop offering “Wall-inspired” discounts on slabs of beer. Final Thoughts The Great Can Wall of Moorabbin is more than just a wall—it’s a lifestyle, a philosophy, a beacon of hope in an increasingly bleak suburban landscape. Whether you view it as a groundbreaking piece of urban art or simply a staggering collection of empties, one thing is certain: it is a monument that will outlast us all. 10/10. A must-see. Bring a beer.

Haywood Cheng I recently had the opportunity to enroll my child in Camberwell Scouts, and I must say it has been a fantastic experience overall. Here are some key aspects that make Camberwell Scouts deserving of a solid 4-star rating: **1. Diverse Programs:** One of the standout features of Camberwell Scouts is the wide range of programs they offer for kids of different ages. Whether your child is 1 or 12 years old, theres something tailored just for them. This inclusivity ensures that every child can find their place and flourish within the scouting community. **2. Skill Development:** Camberwell Scouts places a strong emphasis on skill development. From basic survival skills to leadership and teamwork, my child has gained a wealth of practical knowledge. These skills go beyond scouting and will undoubtedly benefit them in various aspects of life. **3. Dedicated Leaders:** The leaders and volunteers at Camberwell Scouts deserve a special mention. Their commitment to the well-being and growth of the children is evident in everything they do. They are not just supervisors; they are mentors who lead by example, instilling important values in the scouts. **4. Community Engagement:** I appreciate how Camberwell Scouts actively engages with the community. Through various service projects and events, my child has learned the importance of giving back and being responsible citizens. These experiences have broadened their perspective and sense of empathy. Now, why not a 5-star rating? While Camberwell Scouts is excellent, theres always room for improvement. Sometimes, communication regarding upcoming events and meetings could be more streamlined. Additionally, it would be great to see even more opportunities for parent involvement and feedback.

Nara Lee Lovely vast area that makes for a peaceful walk. The place is massive and teeming with beautiful trees and birds — we saw many ibises hanging about. The cows were also a pleasant surprise.

Justina Advocate (ClïnkerMüncher) So lovely here, very like being in the bush. A suburban oasis of scrub and trees attracting the beautiful fauna and insects and melded with some great walking tracks with effective exercise, including rolling hills. I really like wattles of all kinds, and there are some great specimens here. The view to the north is amazing.

Jackie Brown A beautiful spot for a walk. Wattle bloomed early this year 2024. Best time is late August to Early September. A nice easy walk. Large playground for children.

Zainab Hassan Really nice place with a small lake and toys for children to play it also has a nice walkway around the park which is perfect so parents can exercise and have a nice time while children play their soul out ❤️

John Locke A nice area for sports in the cricket field, walking dogs, running, cycling and picnic. There are also a playground and walking trails which cyclists also ride along, so be careful. Remember to visit the nearby Burke Road South Wetland and Gardiners Creek Trail as well because there are lovely swans, ducks, butterflies, bees and flowers.

Shai N Its just about 5 minutes drive from the murrumbeena pharmacy. Its a small park with restroom, kids play area and nice seating arrange. I made full use of the snakes and ladders like the kid i am at heart. However, I do request the council to re-paint that because the numbers are almost faded. Also liked the snake sculpture to complement the space. Surely a good space for kids and adults to walk and relax.

John Locke A beautiful lake with ducks. There is playground, BBQ facilities, sports fields and walking trails. You can walk dogs, picnic, play with boats and suntan.
