This Must Be the Place – Hendra Edition.
Talking Heads’ song “This Must Be the Place” is all about that quiet, almost accidental sense of belonging—and that’s exactly the feeling Hendra gives off.
Tucked between racecourses and leafy streets, Hendra doesn’t shout for attention. It’s calm, a little nostalgic, and full of subtle beauty—like the soft pastels and curved lines of its Art Deco homes. There’s colour if you’re looking, history in the details, and a kind of stillness that feels like home without trying too hard.
The song says, “Home is where I want to be, but I guess I’m already there.” And in Hendra, that kind of sneaks up on you. A quiet street. A breeze. A melody you didn’t know you needed.
Yeah… this must be the place.
