Such an odd piece of art work I’ve been driving past my whole life.

An old acquaintance and I used to say ‘abattoir fresh’ when we drove past that. Like it was some brand of cologne.
When i first moved to melb we lived in the west and i recall on summer nights when the wind was blowing a certain direction the smell was quite bad. I didn’t know what it was until i started school and learnt from the others about the tanneries and stuff out that way

The Tannery plant is ensuring us to keep up with the old nickname ‘Smellbourne’,.from back in the days when it was indicating the Werribee ‘poo-farm’ now called the Western treatment plant.

Try riding a motorcycle through that area! Definitely can get a good whiff.
Also, strangely enough on the way back from the city the smell isn’t as noticeable

There’s a new one at the Werribee South exit, more colourful than this one though.

I wonder why whenever I drove past that thing, my wife would release the nastiest fart in the car.

My dad used to open his car window and we’d complain about the smell. He asked if he should slow down the car.
That was more than 40 years ago. I did the same thing with my kids. They do it with their friends and partners.

why is this part of melbourne so weird? why is it notoriously hard to merge for first-time drivers to get to the west gate? what is that smell? what is this house? why are there so many freeways in this certain part of princess freeway? why is there a tiny lake? what’s the deal with the weird parking lots at 7-11 and mcdonald’s? these are all questions i’ve never asked and i don’t dare want to know the answers because they’re going to be boring answers tbh

Love the smell of a tannery in the morning.
