Went down to Nambucca Heads for the 50th anniversary of our Leaving Certificate year and then onto Liverpool for a flying visit so Ana could have a check up on her knees.
I paid a very quick visit to Timberbits on the way through from Forster to Liverpool and was stunned by the shabby appearance of so many of the areas we drove through. Unkempt lawns, dead cars, yards full of rubbish - these all seem to be the norm.
We stayed in Brisbane on the way back and I noted a similar pattern with unkempt lawns. The number of cars in some yards and on the streets in the outer areas is probably an indication of the lack of good public transport. This then adds to the mess on our roads.
It was a sobering and somewhat saddening experience. Just glad I don't live in either place.
