Near my family's house in McDowall, in Brisbane, Australia, there is a a strip of land reserved for the once-planned northern freeway. When I visited Brisbane last Christmas I stopped by the side of the road to have a look.
The water tank is all that remains of a small paddock at that location. There used to be a a little cabin, the odd grazing cow, and a horse or two.
My memory of that little farm is among the earliest from my childhood. Being one of two access points to the sub-division where we lived, we'd pass here almost every day. This is the contemporary view of what I saw from the back seat of our little white Fiat.
