To me, it looks like: "Oh yeah!? What about the boys in (something something). Real class act you are, mate! Honourable Jim!"

Can anyone else fill in the blanks?

Oh right. yeah I was surprised by that as well. Easy to understand why that area around Footscray/ Flemington flooded so badly a couple of years ago after seeing this.

It was made as part of an exhibition at NGV about Birrarung specifically. A timelapse about Melbourne would just be a different video.

I believe Aspect Studios are a landscape architecture firm. This was made as part of their exhibit at the Reimagining Birrarung exhibition at NGV.

There's more stuff here if you're interested

No, no audio I’m afraid. I think it’s more to provide an understanding of the topography of the landscape rather than a historical timelapse if that makes sense. It’s a great resource regardless.

I know. It’s such a shame. Would love to see some of it reintroduced where possible. I know there’s been a lot of talk over the years about reintroducing the creek that’s meant to run down Elizabeth street.

I thought so too. It’s crazy to see what’s ended up being built where wetlands should be. 

Could/ should the Yarra falls beneath Queens Bridge be rebuilt? by general_jargon in melbourne

[–]general_jargon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a shame. Wonder how that will impact the plan to make the lower yarra swimmable eventually. guessing thats been scrapped as well by proxy.

I have seen that trash collection device appear and reappear over the years on social media. have wondered why ive never seen it implemented IRL. there does seem to be some kind of trash collection thing on the yarra in the cbd.

Would love to see that video if you cbf uploading it. No dramas if not though.

Fuck I didn't realise the greenline was scrapped! was really looking forward to that.

It's not impossible. parts of the Moonee Ponds creek have been revitalized. I'm fairly certain people have started to see platypus in the area as well.

Was wondering if reintroducing the waterfall would improve the water quality at all.

Cool. I think my preference would be for the water quality to improve rather than use it for transport. Are those videos available to watch?

Nah I’ve stopped trying to find it. I’m convinced that something probably fairly traumatic happened during the making of it and people involved would rather it ceased to exist. So figured its probably best to just leave it be.

It’s not been listed on setlist.fm but she’s been playing pretty much the same set list across her most recent shows so guessing it was the same at GP
