The M3 Eastlink Tollway is a privately managed freeway that runs through or abuts seven municipalities in outer eastern and southeastern metropolitan Melbourne. The land was reserved by the State Government of Victoria in the 1960s as part of the Metropolitan Transport Plan and the tollway was constructed between 2004 and 2008. It is an extension of the eastern bound F19 Freeway and runs north to south along the metropolitan Melbourne urban boundary of 1954.

Solá Morales' concept of Terrain Vague is applied to a quintessential suburban public space in the prototypical Suburban City of Melbourne Australia. Utilising James Meyer's concept of site specificity as being both literal and functional, the author intervenes in the location of the barracks of the 19C Aboriginal Police of the Port Philip District of the State of Victoria. The site is now inside metropolitan Melbournes expanding suburban metropolitan area. The Police Paddocks were the barracks were located is within one of the non-urban Green Wedges created in the 1970s to maintain corridors of nature into the Suburban sprawl. An empty site is what we find and two contradictory visual records of the barracks, a 19C drawing by Von Guerard and an anonymous 20C black and white photograph, together with a 1990 investigation of the area leaves us with "Feature 13". An overgrowth of vegetation over the foundations of the Barracks. Sola Morales "uncontaminated magic of the obsolete" and a site that "escapes the productive logic of the city" is considered in a site of recreation, abandonment and colonial history of occupation. The recommendation of all parties involved in the parks development want to leave the site as it is. The author intervenes with a nocturnal architectural performace and a daytime QR to link the tourist to the site, from two contradictory visual perspective, on the perimeter of the park.
