You can wait ages for your bus shelter to get a magic makeover - and then three come along in quick succession.

Little more than a year after one lucky Alphington bus stop had its last “guerrilla renovation” –when it was transformed into a 1970s living room – it's been re-imagined once more, this time as a surf shack, complete with ocean views.

The bus shelter, which serves the 546 route along Heidelberg Road - near the corner with Fulham Road - now has a trompe l'oeil window which opens onto blue skies and azure seas.

The window is framed by green palms which seem to rustle in the tropical breeze, while an umbrella-bedecked pineapple cocktail sits invitingly on the ledge.
