Unwanted bus stop is mistake

Whilst the new bus timetables leave a lot to be desired (and a lot left standing without transport), having a bus stop where it is of little use and isn't wanted is just another typical Gosford boo boo.

Bushcare in the area is difficult enough, as I can testify, being one of the first bands that worked hard in the early 1980s to convince the local council that we simply wanted to care for the bush, not run the council.

I lift my hat to those early Bushcare pioneer warriors, the late Jane Young, Marigold Lawrence, Joan Doney, Andrew Sourry, Maisie Hillsmith, Lola Vescey, Peter Clifford, and the small army of loyal bush regenerators faithfully following the Bradley sisters system of just how to do it.

Bushcare and Catchment Management has evolved a long way since those days.

And now a hardworking volunteer Bushcare group not only continue to fight ignorance of the natural environment but unwanted bus stops and potential vandalism as well.
