Somehow, I think it will take more than letter writing to get certain council members to listen, but you've got to start somewhere.

On the way to childcare, we spotted a lone Digga demolition skip.
On the way home from childcare, we found the demolition site!

What was the best thing about parking across the road from Refuel Hub this morning?

Spotting two kids take a good look at our #UrbanArrow as they walked past with their parents 😍

Me: Here is the bus stop.
4yo: But where is the chair?
Me: Good question.

Before she turned one, she’d attended keynotes by @bronryriejones.bsky.social and @daisychristo.bsky.social. Today, at the age of two, she added a morphology workshop by #DrNathanielSwain to her list.

Hopefully, her grandparents will be in town for #ResearchEdBallarat, though🤞.

Since getting our #UrbanArrow, we’ve used our old baby seat only once to carry a child.

Instead, I regularly use it to transport things back from the op shop, like this feather cushion yesterday.

Tell me you live in a car-dependent country without telling me you live in a car-dependent country. I'll go first:

Our first ride of 2025 was to a playdate.

There was nothing mundane about it for these two, though.

It’s acceptable to holiday in a ‘shop top’, but what would it take to get more Victorians living in one?

Thanks, #BallaratTimes, for another chance to promote active transport.

We'll keep speaking out until governments adequately fund active transport and end the scourge of car dependency.

We deserve no less.
