Barkading — keeping the rabbits away

[Monday quirky]

When one has the joy of a rural block and the unjoy of rabbits, one does many things to keep the effers at bay.

My barkading with the long ribbon bark of the swamp gum *E. ovata* and manna gum *E. viminalis* is having some success (with all the dropped sticks as anchors). I've found they tend not to jump over what they cannot see over, so a lot less damage is occurring.

Still using some rabbit guards of course as the banksias being slower growers don't unbite, plus some winter protection from frost.

Enjoy your autumn gardening.

Nothing more annoying than coming off Metro at Southern Cross and needing to know from which platforms where the subsequent VLine trains are departing. You can be needing to go in three directions Platform 1, Platforms 2–8, or Platforms 15-16.

There is no summary of departing trains internal to Southern Cross, all the summaries are at the entrances to the station.

At the northern end of Southern Cross (Bourke St end) one has to run to each platform pair PID at the top to find out, and outside to check P 1.

Why can't DTV/Metro/VLine look to cater for people interchanging between Metro and VLine? Having something internal seems a no brainer. It doesn't need to be huge, just carry the information for the next departure for each.

[Yes, you can have the phone app, though doesn't happen for everyone OR if you are there before they put up the times.]
