With some time to spare on the Gold Coast after the highly successful Urban History Planning History Conference, friend of the blog Victoria Kolankiewicz and I decided to try and find an internal reserve in the general area. This was the one we plumped for. It's noted on google maps as 'Molendinar Power Station' but in general displays as a green open space linked from surrounding (light industrial) streets by green walkways. Here's one of them:
Some of the land is plainly drainage reserve, with these covered channels at the end of said walkways:
The main game is the Molendinar power station, and all power lines lead there:
Some of the flat open space surrounded by (industrial) buildings. I also saw a couple of wallabies in the space, for what that's worth (and not surprising of course).
The actual power facility, nothing much to see.
Same walkway as before.
So... Barry Humphries had a show in the early 70s, which if I remember rightly was called At Least You Can Say You've Seen It. Victoria and I can now claim that right. More information forthcoming, if anyone ever supplies me with any.
