While reviewing photographs from my most recent psychogeographic expedition (report to be filed soon) I spotted what appears to be Spider-Man coming to someone's aide.

I made this excursion several months ago, but I wasn't ready to document it until now.

Let's begin with an excursion to Arden railway station.

On 20 February this year, the City of Melbourne announced that the swamp everlasting (Xerochrysum palustre) would be the city's new floral emblem.
