Abstract
It's the third annual Britfest in Frankston-a city by name but known in Melbourne as the
outermost suburb at the south-eastern end of the metropolitan train line. The location is the
Frankston Football Oval, just outside the town centre. It's late February and the temperature
is approaching its projected maximum of 38 degrees Celsius. There's not much shade
on the expanse of the parched and browning oval, and many have sought relief under the
veranda of the raised wooden grandstand. Here feStival-goers can catch the breeze blowing
across Pon Phillip Bay and look out over Olivers Hill towards the beach, reminding themselves
that, despite the best efforts of town planners to obliterate its existence, people initially
moved to Frankston to be 'beside the seaside'.
