Fletchers - 20 Robinson Road, Hawthorn - Belinda Anderson
This charming 3 bedroom Victorian home presents a beautifully maintained period facade with its polychromatic brickwork, bay window and deep verandah and once inside reveals a warm and inviting residence that appeals on so many levels.
The original features of high decorative ceilings, OFPs, Baltic pine flooring and an elegant hallway arch preserve the heritage feel. An inspired renovation has transformed the rear of the home incorporating an impressive family living area with parquetry flooring, towering ceiling, central fan, French doors, clerestory windows and capacious built-in shelving.
A formal sitting room has pride of place at the front of the home enjoying a verdant outlook to the lush front garden with its laden lemon tree. Across the hall, the main bedroom provides a spacious dressing room and opens to a semi-ensuite bathroom with a generous second robed bedroom and a study/3rd bedroom sharing the use of an excellent family bathroom.
Contrary to the glitz, glamour and whizz bang technology that television would lead us to expect of a professional's kitchen, the warm and friendly environment of this one with its open shelving displaying treasured pieces is a delight to experience. Expertly designed to owner Stephanie Alexander's specifications with every need within reach it features a superb butler's pantry, wonderfully accessible storage, Carrara marble benchtops, St George double oven, mobile island bench (with an often used cutting board that could tell a million culinary stories) and access to the exemplary kitchen garden.
This is not a home where the vegetable bed is banished to a corner of the rear garden and a handful of herbs huddle next to the back door, but a celebration of all foods fresh, natural and home grown flowing from the front gate to the back garden. Fruit, nuts, citrus and olive trees, an extensive range of vegetables and herbs and superbly selected decorative plantings add to the street appeal at the front of the home and provide a private and peaceful setting at the rear, where the living room opens out to facilitate superb alfresco living and entertaining complete with outdoor kitchen, vine covered pergola and solar heated pool.
Further features include a fitted laundry, remote garage entry from Montague Street, water tanks with a total 15,000 litre storage, ducted heating and split system reverse cycle air-conditioners. Within walking distance of tram and local shops with easy access to parks and sporting reserves, Melbourne Uni Hawthorn Campus, Scotch College, Auburn South Primary School, Gardiner's Creek Trail and Citylink.
Trams in Melbourne
The Melbourne tramway network is a major form of public transport in Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia. As of May 2014, the network consisted of 250 kilometres of track, 493 trams, 25 routes, and 1,763 tram stops. It is the largest urban tramway network in the world, ahead of the networks in St. Petersburg, Berlin, Moscow and Vienna. Trams are the second most used form of public transport in overall boardings in Melbourne after the commuter railway network, with a total of 182.7 million passenger trips in 2012/13.
Trams have operated continuously in Melbourne since 1884, with the opening of a horse tram line in Fairfield. Since then they have become a distinctive part of Melbourne's character and feature in tourism and travel advertising. Melbourne's cable tram system opened in 1885, and expanded to one of the largest in the world, with 75 km of double track. The first electric tram line opened in 1889, but closed only a few years later in 1894. In 1906 electric tram systems were opened in St Kilda and Essendon, marking the start of continuous operation of Melbourne's electric trams.

Lockheed C-130 Hercules
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed, now Lockheed Martin. Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 60 nations.
The C-130 entered service with U.S. in the 1950s, followed by Australia and others. During its years of service, the Hercules family has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. The family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. In 2007, the C-130 became the fifth aircraft—after the English Electric Canberra, Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95, and Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, all designs with various forms of aviation gas turbine powerplants—to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer, in this case, the United States Air Force. The C-130 is one of the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for over 50 years with its original customer, as the updated C-130J Super Hercules.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
