Here's the latest version of 'West End Best End'

Here's one of our Stories and Songs of Boundary Street songs. We were telling stories about some of the communal households that existed in the 1970's, 80's and 90's and the various social justice projects that have abounded in West End, Brisbane. Anne Parker regaled us with some of her experiences living in Dorothy Day House and volunteering at the Justice Products shop on Boundary Street and this is the result.
