Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
They are building the train station here at our suburb in the site of the old Arthur Whitling Park. The Anzac Day Dawn Service was held at the park on 25 April 2012 for the last time. Last year, they began the demolition work that started off with the removal of the Anzac Memorial ... then they removed the trees.
On 07 November 2013, I saw that the small trees had been removed.
I knew that these trees would be next.
There was one last tree on 08 November
I knew it would be gone by 09 November
You can still see the last tree ...
... it's gone now.
We attended our first ever Anzac Day Dawn Service in 2009
at the Arthur Whitling Park
when we first landed in Australia.
That site is forever lost.
