Our local train to Adelaide hasn't been running for about 20 years or so and with SA govt after govt thinking SA ends at murray bridge, it's been said time and time again it will cost to much to update and resurrect. So a parcel of the central rail corridor was handed over to council, who turned into parkland/public area. Opening day was today. It looks nice. It would want to for 4.5 mill. Anyway I'm walking around wearing a PA t shirt and walk past a stall run by the lock the gate mob. Not really registering what the stall was I had a sticky beak and deciding I wasn't interested screwed my face up and turn to walk off. Happened to catch the eye of the people working the stall. It goes....smiling, looks at t shirt, looks at me with a oh this is awkward, look on their faces. Priceless! I actually don't mind them as long as they stick to the anti fracking thing. :p
 
...nice, rock pool.. 'thing'.. ? 8) ...I hate council wasted money. Be careful for new water parks like that too. We have one locally and within 2 months an outbreak of the runs gushed through anyone that swam there and got closed down. Reopened a few months later.. I think they didn't have a filter system before.

Did you detect on that nice new grass? ;)
 
Lol no. Had have been in gold bearing ground I would've taken the hibanker down though. Geez this lot have spent some money over the last few years. 10 mill on the main cnr building with no purpose, 4 and half mill on restoring the cave gardens to how it looked in the 1930's, 4 mill or so on the old town hall resto. And 4 mill to knock down the old hospital. Not many happy campers about that 1. I reckon we'd have more square metres of parks than people.
