168 Hanson St. Newtown
The shed sits atop a concrete patio slanted with the landscape and adorned with a clothes line. The roof in corrugated fiberglass and the walls are old particle board on a solid frame. The smell of dust and rodents and then incense. Old drop ceiling panels work as a headboard for the mattress on the floor. A cracked and decaying landscape painting hangs on the opposite wall. Two shelves, one head height and the other above, run across the wall to the right of the bed, and carry over onto the far wall. On them sit candles, holders, and a hat with a ball found in his room. Strong wind sounds across the thin walls.

4 Hawker St, Flat 7, Mt Victoria
A long room at the top of a narrow stairwell, with a door to the street. Ambient music on an old radio and the smell of candles and peppermint tea. A single bed legnthwise under the back window and a larger bed made out of cushions on the floor. A thin shelf running the legth of the room up high holds books and nic-nacs. A round table sits with two chairs to the left for dinking tea and playing chess.

Distinct floral smell in the house. Detergent and chicken broth, The room barely fits the large bed and a small computer desk with a computer that hums and generates heat. Large glass window next to the bed covered in thick striped drapes.

3/7 Clearmont Grove, Mount Victoria. Large room sparsely decorated. Windows to the far right facing east, covered with deep red curtains. Large desk on far wall, art supplies and books. A mass of towels hung on the back of the door on hooks. Clothing on bar in the corner. A large expanse of empty floor in the middle of the room. A large camera set up on a tripod at the far end. Untucked sheets and an uncovered comforter. A desk lamp that pointed up the wall behind the bed for light. The smell of mildew and hand soap. Like my grandfathers shed.
