Historical information

In around March to April 1994, the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria (AFV) opened a second oppportunity shop in Moonee Ponds. This photo depicts a close up photo of the street sign for "Everage Street", taken from a low angle. The street, which runs beside a carpark behind the main shopping strip on Puckle St, was named after internationally renowed Australian satirist Barry Humphries' character, Dame Edna Everage. The character's surname is a play on words: before she became a dame, Edna was an 'average' housewife who famously hailed from the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. https://www.victorianplaces.com.au/moonee-ponds
