Update: The view from our bedroom window in Linbro Park

Update: This is the single most debilitating experience of our lives. Our house is shaking to its very foundations. The beeping of the graders, the ongoing thrumming, the terrible sight of all this yellow metal parading past our kitchen and bedroom. Well, my wife Karen was in tears. We are literally being shaken to our core. Pics to follow.

Update: My entire family woke up to the terrible sound of diesel engines and beeping reversing trucks at 6.30 this morning. This will be the case for the next nine months. These folk have a job to do, but it is a crappy way to live.

Update: Steff asks what we are referring to. Our wall is 2m high. That is a digger excavating. It runs from 6am to 6pm. It is accompanied by dozens of other yellow metal trucks and tippers.

I broadcast at night, try and get some sleep, and this starts 6am. What a racket, for more than 12 hours a day.

As I say, it is all legal, but horrid.

More pics to come.

Steff was wise in leaving Linbro Park.

This is all legal, no argument, no issues, but what a crappy way to live. And the noise!

Yeah Frank!!
Now you know why I cried my eyes out in February... when this all happened to me.
Have you driven past 81 Clulee and seen what the devastation has left behind??
No more singing birds, no more pretty shrubs... [even alien ones!].. just sand, sand and more sand...
And they haven't finished.. the concrete and the clay is still to follow!!
Tears should flow for the destruction of virgin soil, thats what for... and for man's stupid greedy nature!
