hope

here's a thing. Take time out of your busy day and stand on the corner of Moreland Road and Station Street, Coburg and remember where this photo used to be. Where not only were there all the 100 year old trees but one clear area past the old bridge where parents and their children used to kick footballs and owners used to let their dogs of the leash to run around and go nuts.

so jump ahead now to the new Moreland Station, post construction. Not even a hint of the former Gandolfo Gardens. I have seen an artists depiction of what it will look like in the future, but that is not nearly enough.

they must do more to make the gardens resemble as much of its former self as possible as when they took the trees away it was nothing short of devastating. Not to forget the total asshole way they took them away and that no one wanted the station above ground in the first place, let alone on this side of the road. Living in the wrong electorate can be a curse sometimes.

if only to recall the times I used to lie down in the shade of all those amazing trees.
