Around 2496 people per square kilometre in Blackburn means driveways of real length, so the approach camera earns its place more than the wide-angle one does. At around 98 metres, Blackburn is level. Cameras need to be placed for angle rather than elevation, which usually means the corners of the house.
Being around 16 kilometres from the city, Blackburn has the eave depth that lets a camera sit out of the weather without a separate housing. Whitehorse covers Blackburn. On a standard domestic install the council has no part to play, and we will say so rather than invent a permit.
Because Blackburn backs onto Blackburn North and Blackburn South, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us. There were 14478 people living in Blackburn at the 2021 census, spread over around 5.8 square kilometres in Whitehorse, postcode 3130.
Background that matters once we are on site: Blackburn railway station was built in 1882. It shapes the cable route more than the camera choice does. Blackburn sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Blackburn North, Blackburn South, Box Hill and Box Hill North.
From our Boronia workshop Blackburn is about 12.5 kilometres west, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip. Because Blackburn grew around Blackburn railway station, the housing closest to it is typically the oldest on the block.
