Neighbourhood Watch in our street...

I live in a great street in Melbourne. It is certainly not the best street in our suburb... We're down the hill from the posh houses  of the Golden mile   and up from the railway line. It is good. We get the runoff from the posh peoples' watering systems and we're closer to the train station in the morning. OK let's be honest  so, we're a long way from the posh houses,  and live on top of the railway line... We love our street! We have a street Christmas party where all the neighbours are invited and we have a pretty good Neighbourhood Watch thing happening.
