A Council for Intelectual Disability poster stuck on the back of a pay-phone on Marrickville Road; see My own image reflected on a bus-stop glass-pane...  
the train I took to Lewisham would not stop there so I had to get off on Ashfield and take a local train back... 
The oldest house in Marrickville is 'Loch Lomond' on Myrtle Street. It was built circa 1870 for James Meek, after whom Meeks Road is named.
