Amanda Coulson and I came across Guests Lane and we were struck by the modernist architecture, crossways between buildings and the orphan rectangle of green space in a central 'T' section of the Laneway.
Guests Lane led to considerations of ‘guests’ as a subject and then to introduced species. Research located historical documents on Acclimatisation Societies held at the State Library. The laneway is named after an early biscuit manufacturer. It is a Class 3 Lane, used by a café, office workers, for meals, smoking, parking motorbikes, service and access, infrequent pedestrians. One building has been vacant for 20 years.
