I see signage has been installed around the edge of the path approaching the harbour bridge as notification of that areas approaching significant upgrade.
I notice from their images there is no sign of the lovely traditional park benches and they look to be replaced by concrete slabs and wood blocks.
Why do this? Traditional park seats like that are comfortable, sensible, well placed and no doubt were very expensive. I think it would be a shame to lose the existing seats.
Also, I hope the fishing tables and hoses stay as well as these get a huge amount of use.

My old mum passed a while ago and I would like to give her 2 year old Lenovo tablet to a school so they can give it to one of their students that could make use of it.

Mum was not exactly a power user so it is very low specked. It will also need to be reset, which embarrassingly, I cant seem to be able to do.
Please don't ask me for it because I cant be bothered dealing with lots of people. Just give me the name of a low decile school that may have use for it and I will drop it off.
