As I pass that great, dirty, black ugly hoIe in the ground on the tourst highway to East Gippsland, my mind is filled with glorious hope to see an emulation of THE BUTCHART GARDENS. Wouldnt that be a terrific community project? Owned and lived by all FOREVER. Not to mentiin the enormous tourism and jobs growth.
We don’t need a waterhole.

I have a bad habit of writing little ditties about my Victorian childhood. Here’s one about Morwell (no tune added).
Oh how proud are we from the Valley
With Hazelwood right up our alley
The coal dust wafting on our clothes line
The coughing that can only be eased by a mixture of brine
Playing in the pit by the little rail line
Until the workers scream ‘why don’t you kids go away ’
Being quiet during the day so dad he could sleep
He had to run the dredge so us he could keep

Those who commute from Gippsland for work or family need the service to continue .

This is an essential service that must be maintained and improved, not destroyed.

Country Victoria needs this service, please do not remove it 😧

This service is essential to us in Gippsland, please dont take it away.

Gippsland people have the same rights as Melbournians !

Never forget it !!
