The simplicity of my day to day. |
"Blog City Prompt Forum" Prompt: Have fun with these random words in your entry today: museum, step, fuel. swipe, clay. brag. and suspicion. I don’t like to brag but I’m very proud of my city’s new museum, Boola Bardip. The name means many stories in Whadjuk Nyoongar language, the indigenous land on which the Museum sits. There is a wonderful section dedicated to aboriginal history which goes back at least 65,000 years. There are many artefacts displayed including clay pots which have survived through the eons. We have a great public transport system in Perth, but sometimes people find they need to drive their cars through different circumstances. I don’t like to take a swipe at the city planners and designers but there is a major lack of parking spaces. The public transport Perth delivers is pretty good but doesn’t reach the regional towns. This of course means the public who are forced by need to drive, must pay exorbitant parking fees and spend too much money on fuel when they want to come and visit the city and enjoy such iconic buildings such as the museum. I have a suspicion that country folk aren’t considered as important as their city cousins by the people who run our state of Western Australia. The politicians are often accused of this but of course deny it. I wonder would it be asking too much for someone to step up and admit that’s the case and attempt to rectify the problem. |
