We know the Mornington Peninsula is a popular destination for Melbournians to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, but the stunning property that is home to Treehouse Textiles has a genuine sense of peaceful seclusion, and seems miles from any distraction.

The distinctive feature of Poe mill was that it had 2 power plants and therefore 2 smoke stacks. The Poe Mill burned down in 2003 and only the smokestacks survived. Nearby residents took the initiative to create a skate park on the old factory foundation, but the site had to be closed after an EPA study found high levels of contaminants.
There is a plan to convert the entire factory site into a neighborhood park, and revitalize the surrounding community. Funding has been established for site cleanup, which is the first step in the process.
A tree is growing on top of one of the smokestacks. I hope that the smokestacks can be preserved, along with this tree. In the contest of tree VS smokestack, I'd bet on the tree winning - so it may be necessary to substitute an artificial tree to avoid structural damage.
Moneeb Textiles in Fenham is one of several examples of material and tailoring shops in this area. The made to measure clothing and tailoring industry in Britian has moved over to mass clothing retailers in many highstreets, but here in Fenham the Asian/ British Asian community demand for Asian clothing it seems, has fuelled a market for independent tailoring once more.

Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Native Americans of the Great Lakes region used beads and cloth acquired through trade with Anglo Americans to create a new form--the bandolier bag. Made by women but typically worn by men as part of their ceremonial dress, these vividly colored and elaborately beaded bags were symbols of both personal status and tribal identity.
