In Hobart we don’t need a zoo, a theme park, manmade attractions or a Disneyland. We have something better.
The Queens Domain. I am simultaneously both proud of and
depressed by The Queens Domain. I love the native birds and animals; the
indigenous plants; the active sports people; the people respectfully walking
Soldiers Memorial Avenue and the people who lived there thousands of years ago.
I love them all.
But I am depressed.
Hobart is split, separated and cut off from this wonderland. The Brooker Highway and its resultant dangerous,
noisy, stream of cars, buses and trucks discourages access. The Brooker creates
a fence around The Queens Domain. The Brooker bisects and severs Hobart.
Please let’s open it up.
Please build an overpass across the Brooker at
Cleary’s gate.
Then more people, like me, will access, enjoy and love
this wonderland.
