Urban activists supply own street furniture

First it was fancy bus stop signs, next it was fancy new buses, but authorities have clearly not gone far enough for the foot-sore residents of Killarney Heights who have started rolling out their own comfy chairs at bus stops.



Typically, the chairs are attached to the bus stop securely with chain.



Where will this grass roots suburban improvement movement end?

Wonderful stone stairs into Garigal National Park

If you go down to the end of Killarney Drive you'll see this sign marking the edge of Garigal National Park.



Despite a valiant attempt to rid our streets of stray dogs, we were harassed by a butt sniffing beast, but that's another story..

Great work has been done on Flat Rock walk and the path down past the waterfall, which was running today, to the little beach. A beautiful staircase has been carved out of the very living rock.



This must have been a huge job over many months and I wish I knew who to thank for it. The steps have been lovingly crafted either by carving from existing stone or by being constructed from rock and wood.



This makes the walk far more attractive and less perilous for us old folks. Our suburb has been enhanced.

Oh the horror, the horror.

Hoons invade Starkey Street

The quiet leafy streets of placid Killarney Heights must have been disturbed on at least one night when either hoons caused their vehicles to leave these crazy skid marks:



or perhaps it was a hapless Toyota driver, both feet pressing on the brake, unable to control their runaway car?

Woman's body found in Killarney Heights

AAP is reporting that a woman's body was found in the bush in Killarney Heights on Tuesday.

It's possible that it was dislodged by the recent heavy rain where Forestville recorded the highest rainfall on Sunday in all of Sydney.

Whatever the story, it's great to see Killarney Heights in the news.

No news on Lenny the missing rabbit

Despite a fantastic effort by the family of Lenny the rabbit, there is no news as to his whereabouts.

We will continue to follow this breaking news story.

Annoying billboard removed from Starkey Street

I'm pleased to report that the annoying billboard placed on Starkey street just near the school crossing has finally been removed.

The "specialised equipment" they speak of appears to be an old tractor tire.
