The footbridge has re-opened!

Much excitement now that the footbridge between Pipemaker's Park and the Riverside Golf Club has re-opened.  Walkers have quickly re-colonised the bridge.

Gardening tip #2

If you are having trouble with those crocodiles you acquired to scare the birds out of the garden beds, giraffes could be a good option.  Seen at Poynton's, Moonee Ponds,  on Saturday.

Not only does the Devil wear Prada...

...she drives a panel van.  Spotted in Buckley Street, Essendon.

Gardening tip

To prevent birds scratching through garden beds and making a mess on the paths, keep a crocodile on hand.  Keen gardeners in Richardson Street, Essendon have started the trend.
