It is so exciting to see Barkly Village evolve organically.  While the Council drags its heels on its street beautification scheme, more and more of the ugly, empty shopfronts are filling up with colourful Indian restaurants, complementing the many existing Indian grocers.  The West Footscray Neighbourhood House is riffing on the theme, hosting the first of its new four-yearly markets, this one based on Holi, the Indian festival of colours.  For Vindaloo Against Violence, we decided to try one of the newcomers to Barkly Village, Maharaja's Haveli.The walls were freshly painted and the menus crisp.  Despite the spartan feel, the ... read more

This year footscray have a couple of players coming from overseas to play for the season. We are after any old or new furniture that you may no longer require to help furnish the house they will be renting (trying to reduce their cost while living in Oz). They are only here for 6 months so the furniture can be returned to you once they leave, should you require it be returned. If you can help out in any way please contact Tom Griffin 0424 617 363 or Scott 0412 875 528. We require anything from beds to knives and forks!

Thanking you in advance for your support.
