RIP Byrnesy

It has become very common in recent years in Australia to see impromptu memorials set up along roadsides where people have been killed in road accidents.

This memorial in East Hills is the most elaborate I've ever encountered. It includes messages written all over the road surfaces and telegraph poles.

Are roadside memorials a feature of your city or country?

Voyager Point

Across the footbridge from yesterday, and we find .... another suburb of McMansions being carved out of the bush on former defence department land.

Click here to see an aerial photo (while the footbridge was being constructed). These two houses are clearly visible - they are the ones on the corner closest to the bridge.

You can also see in the aerial photo the gateway/entrance to this development which is called "The Sanctuary". A real sanctuary to the graffitists of the area, who have covered this and the walkway of the bridge itself with tags.

Foot bridge across Georges River, East Hills

Tomorrow, what you'll find on the other side of the bridge....
