This week I made the long trek west again and into the unknown quantity of Keilor Park Soccer Club.
For those that like a bit of plane spotting while watching local Football, Keilor Park should be on top of your list of favourite destinations. Situated directly below the flight path for planes landing on the main runway at Tulla, it is quite spectacular and unique to see the jumbos flying so close to the ground, particularly for someone from the other side of town who is used to the distant buzzing of twin props going to and from Tooradin Airport.
The club itself has a fantastic setup, based at the back of a reserve which includes a council depot, AFL/Cricket, Baseball, Basketball & Athletics facilities the soccer club boasts five full size pitches (six if you count the middle of the Athletics track) and two of those grounds are synthetic.
The clubrooms are a sight as well, it's great to see a club with so much history having it proudly on display for all visitors to see. It was quite impressive.
Onto the Canteen which is situated inside the clubrooms. Having a quick glance at 'Today's Menu' it had all the usual fare, but I was after the big ticket item which was the burger with the lot.
It took a few minutes to make, but that isn't a complaint when it is made to order and of course the wait was worth it, the burger was very similar to your typical corner fish 'n chip shop type of burger, with Bacon and Egg being included as "The Lot" alongside the mandatory Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and Cheese.
After I ordered I noticed a second menu stuck to the wall on the side of the Canteen which also offered Steak Rolls and Chevapi Rolls, but thankfully I didn't regret my decision.
