Hahah... I had never even considered thinking about the statement that way. I'm so used to doing things in 100,000s of tonnes that anything less is considered a 'baby'. Kinda gives an alternative meaning to having a "bun in the oven"?

Do any of you guys know what's the go when you have a dead tree on the nature strip?

I reported it twice now to the council (1st call was in beginning December and 2nd call around 3 weeks ago now) and geee they are so slow to act sometimes putting the blame on Peet.

It is so annoying to go through so much pain to get it replaced. :-l

Bus services in Derrimut need improvement.

Bus services in Derrimut need improvement.

I love this super irrelevant quote:

A Transport Department spokesperson said a typical bus carries about 75 passengers - 45 sitting and 30 standing.

Like... no sh1t!

Geeee...clearly some authorities either have no clue of what is going on or they simply don't care.

I actually filled the feedback form on the metlink link below:

May be if we can get some numbers it might hopefully change....

What I find absurd is the fact that the last bus leaving Sunshine station is at 7 p.m. So, if you have to stay back for work, you are pretty much screwed. :-l

trippy · Mar 01, 2012 8:15 am

completely relevant. . LOL. . as that was the question asked..

but wow. . 7pm for the latest bus . .that's pretty ordinary..

That's what we get for being a safe labour seat. .

Wouldnt you just drive to teh station? Or walk to Deer Park, its quicker to get to the city via deer park, then catching the bus to sunshine.

sure is....however, have you tried travelling by vline late in the evening? you miss one and you're stuffed, cos you've gotta hang around for atleast an hour. i tried that for a month....loved the seating, the travel was quick...until I just missed a train and the second one broke down midway. ::sad::

I must've had a really crap day.

Edward · Mar 01, 2012 5:47 pm

I drive to sunshine or albion because its zone 1. Deer Park is VLine and zone 2.

These burglaries are a concern, to the persons that have been robbed, how are they getting in? Breaking windows? Are the entering via front yard or back yard?

and how are they bypassing the alarms?

Yeah....how're they bypassing the alarms? When my friend's place was burgled...it was pretty much a grab and run. It appears that not many ppl care about alarms going off around his house. I was at his place once and the alarm went off in one of the neighbouring houses and I seemed to be the only one interested in checking it out.

Hey Guys
Who do you think is the best person to contact regarding getting the path at Rochester Vista, Derrimut to continue on for about 20 meters so it can join the Deer Park Bypass Walking Track, I have shot off an email to info@brimbankcouncil.com
When it rains the path becomes so muddy u can not get on the track
Anyone know of any other email address I can send it to?

Saw them working at the front entrance the last few mornings, thought they might get the water feature up and running again but looks like there putting plants in it again.
Seems a realy expensive planter box if you ask me

joeygbh · May 10, 2012 3:36 pm

They are also turfing that 'cricket' enclosure. Looks like a tennis court now? Or indoor-outdoor soccer area?
