This week this Moonbria.com.au website turned a milestone page in its popularity resulting in a remarkable number of visitors checking out our site. A big thank-you to you all. In total we had 244 UNIQUE VISITORS, (That's a single visit for each IP address) reading 1006 pages of content from our website! This was achieved in just one week. This works out to be approximately 4 pages consumed for each visitor. All of this has been through 'organic' search WITHOUT ad words, or Pay per click advertisements. The statistics also revealed that 70% of those visitors had IP addresses registering back to colleges, architectural practices, architects, and real estate agents. A further 22% of these visitors were residents sourcing community updates and 'Moonbria' information around the building. It's incredibly satisfying for something that started off as an small idea among several passionate residents, and now it's snowballed over the last 5 years into a popular source of reference for Roy Grounds and his legacy. Thank you again to all those visitors. We are truly touched by our websites popularity.

Moonbria gate now closes with "Dorma' - Thankfully.

Allegion Australia gets dumped as Dorma closes it beautifully.

After several months of wrangling with Allegion Australia over a replacement pump that was under warranty and Allegion's subsequent refusal to replace it; we found something better.

Greg from St Kilda Locksmiths found a solution for us and recommended we go with Dorma for a more a reliable service offering. The result is wonderful. The gate is back working again as it should.

Thanks Greg & Alex from St Kilda Locksmiths for persevering and getting such a good result for all the residents and owners at Moonbria.

SCOPE OF WORKS:
3rd July 2019:
Works commence.
The works will include some major excavation by mechanical digger to source and replace the damaged pipes allowing greater egress for water should future flooding occur.

The works are expected to take 10 days with restorative works to follow shortly thereafter. Sadly during this work period there will be no access to residents. 
Works update;

    Pick Of The Month.


    What is it?
    Unit 17 is a super cosy one bedroom top floor that is  currently for lease.

    Why we like it.
    The top floor has a distinct "Art Deco cruise liner"  feel with it's slim steel common area support pillars and it's white wood-paneled roof.
    It's very cool.

    Oh and...
    It's also super quiet, with  two big windows opening over the central 'Moonbria' courtyard and the big elm tree. Boutique shops at both ends of the street means when you run out of "Madonna" cheese, and lactose free soy milk its an easy fix.
    Classic, simple, elegant  "Art Deco' living.
    What's not to love!

    What you should do.
    Make it home, quickly!
