But the interesting thing is that people still come and bring their own BBQs and still picnic there It is a well loved area
Where had you found THE bench? I looked for it in vain...

That's very sad. But the area was so demolished, I'm not surprised.
I love the idea of guerilla picnicing!

Yup, there it is!
Seeing these pics again, I still marvel at the fact that we actually found it at all!
It was purely by chance, like Paul said.
....or, maybe, we were drawn there by the spirits of our boys... 8)

At least we have the photos and the knowledge of the wonder that you found it at all. Amazing things happen to Brokies. :)

It would have been a very cool thing to have indeed! ;D But that suitcase thing is a major obstacle.... ::)

I think so too. And furthermore, it's pretty cool that the inscription was still there, after 4 fucking years!
Paul and I carved it in 2009 - with our keys, no less! :D The carving was quite shallow, because it proved to be more laborious than we thought.
In 2011, we didn't get a chance to check on the inscription because there were people (non-brokies! :o) sitting on the bench. We thought they might find it a wee bit strange if strange people in cowboy hats all of a sudden crawled behind their backs and squatted right behind them and started inspecting and caressing the bench they were sitting on.... ::) ::)
So, in 2013 it wasn't just the miracle that we found the bench in the first place, but also the fact that the inscription was still so clearly visible!!

Oh yes, please do!
I imagine that even if they don't restore the area, at least they will clear all the debris away.
And when they find the bench, maybe they'll keep it and put it back somewhere nearby, because of the plaque.
