In 1886, when the Essendon Methodist Church was founded, the area was dominated by gigantic trees, deep gullies and reed-fringed lagoons. Mount Alexander Road, "the main street," was dusty in summer. In winter, the mud was churned axle-deep by bullock drays. From this unpromising beginning sprang what is today the North Essendon Uniting Church, which continues to carry Christ's message to the world. The Church continues to minister to the community from which it sprang, as well as refugees and other multicultural parishioners. Worship is on 10:00 am Sunday.

Ascot Vale Station dates from 1860, making it one of the earliest sursviving stations in Melbourne's metropolitan railway network. It's a good-looking structure, made of red brick. It served the private Melbourne to Essendon line, but the line folded in 1864. The line was revivied under government ownership in 1871. It's still earning its keep, as one of the key stations on the Craigieburn Line. The suburb of Ascot Vale underwent a gentrification process and now it is a moderately expensive area, close to the City. The Station is convenient to the 57, 59 and 82 trams.

The Burke and Wills expedition aimed to cross Australia from South to North. It was not a total failure; they did achieve their aim, but perished in the desert on their return trip. This monument was erected to their memory by local identity L T Thompson. It's easy to find -- on the median strip directly opposite the bowling club. Burke and Wills have an enduring fascination, especially in Victoria.

Observers with an interest in the history of finance will remember the ES&A Bank, which amalgamated with the ANZ Bank in 1970. The English, Scottish and Australian Chartered Bank was originally an English bank, as was the ANZ. The ES&A Bank in Mt Alexander Rd was built in Modern Gothic style. The building was built of polychrome Hawthorn brick, a common design in the 1880s.. The roof is grey slate, pierced by capped chimneys. The former bank is on the corner of Mt Alexander Rd and Bank St. By the way, the bank has a slightly ecclesiastical appearance. It seems as if it is in use; what for is unclear

Strathnaver Reserve runs along the Moonee Ponds Creek. The creek hosts a remnant of native bushland, which is an environment and migration path for native animals. You can ramble along the creek for quite a while.. If you start at Lebanon Reserve, you can cross the pedestrian and cyclists' bridge and ramble along this little-known path for an easy couple of kilometres. The path is concrete.
