I have lived in St Kilda for over 30 years embracing all that it offers from its immense beauty and charm to its quirky and sometimes, seedy side. 'So St Kilda' captures a moment that describes part of that character. An everyday scene that in many ways is unremarkable, but at the same time simply beautiful. It's...so St Kilda!
