Camp by a water source."This will be the place for a village"
Town becomes city in time.Public transport.
My childhood trams burned down in the era of Clem Jones
whose name is on a bankrupt City Tunnel project
Hospital of my birth now snuggled among highrise
Every urban center experiments with values-
a free city circle bus loop
(Armadillo cut in Austin)
staged bus stops(to be copied)
use of the River as public transport(catamarans-
where landings were destroyed in Brisbane floods
Hike and bike trails by the waterside(ditto)
Parks and gardens where free entertainment amuses
Attracting high rise living back to the CBD
Now patches and sparkes of original planning
show parallel but not equivalent developments
(Brisbane has an effective train service/Austin none)
Public transport becomes a front line issue
when the call is for THE PUBLIC to vote-
but then again,it is compulsory in Australia
where FREEDOM requires all of us (every singular one-
to consider more than simply ourselves.)We are One)
