Queens Domain

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.
