If you view life as one big adventure then it’s safe to say
I adventure in Richmond quite a lot. My office is based right by Richmond train
station and so many a happy lunch time is spent wondering along Swan Street searching
out good food and hunting down the best cafes to work in when the office
internet has cracked the shits. Richmond, unlike the north, is a very shiny
place. Filled with lots of young beautiful people with high heels and good hair
– not that the north lacks beauty but boy does it feel different.
It’s actually
a really nice part of town, with many excellent food options as well as
some cute shops selling things you see in pintrest for far too much money.
On the other side, a little further from our HQ is a road
called Bridge Road, still filled with café’s and bars but also filled with a
strange assortment of clothing outlets and bridal shops. It’s all a little odd,
and quite frankly with so many ‘For Lease’ signs everywhere at the moment it’s
starting to feel more like a ghost town then I remember.
On good sunny days we try and take meetings outside, get
some sun and fresh air. With so many gardens so close it’s easy to find a shady
grassy spot to set up near the Richmond football team’s practice field and the
MCG stadium. We also take a good number of strolls when talks need to be had
outside office walls, many a good good life check in’s happen in the narrow
streets filled with tiny homes and picket fences.
I love working in Richmond, it has a good feel to it and is
perfectly situated close to my other job, the city, and my place - all the good
things. I’m pretty lucky to spend a few mornings a week riding into work,
grabbing a quick coffee from a friend and starting the day in the sunshine
ready to get to work on projects I adore and work I believe in.
TRIP (AREA) RATING:
