Bellingen Farmers & Producers Market has a No Dogs policy
There are 6,000+ domestic dogs living in Bellingen Shire. The food market is teeming with dogs every time. One shouldn't be growled at when shopping or have a snout stuck in their organic vegetables. There seems to be zero enforcement.

"Australia is a nation of dog lovers, and nearly half our households have one or more..
There have been five dog attacks in Queensland's south-east in the past week, and three of those injured were small children."
It's not about breed, it's the sheer quantity of #pets and the lack of domestication.

#Bellingen has a #traffic jam problem. The 'CBD' ist stuffed. Shopping is a 'running the gauntlet' experience. No matter how much they will 'straighten the bends and widen country roads', there will be just more and more cars. Removing 'bends' from very steep and winding country roads is eliminating #biodiversity #habitat.
Where will all the cars go from the newly smashed in suburbs? (North Bank Road etc) Working hard to make it a #Nonplace.

The NSW #Koala #Conservation efforts to provide a safer #WildlifeCorridor by erecting a sign have been nullified by speeding motorists after just two weeks. The koala sign has been unearthed and the sign has been stolen.

#Bellingen #Motorists knocked down a new #Koala sign which was installed barely three weeks ago and was two meters away from the road.

#Bellingen - Where is the enforcement in the forest of signs.

“#Gleniffer Road closed between Roses Road North and Roses Road South intersections from 9 January 2023 - Late April 2023”

Road closure, increased #traffic, #pollution and vegetation (habitat) clearing for four month. Smashing a wider, straighter road through the forest will encourage increased #traffic, #speeding and #roadkill. The stated rationale is to get more visitors to the “the popular tourist destination of the #PromisedLand. ” The 'Scenic Drive' might loose some of that picturesque charm, but one can get faster to the #NeverNever loo.

One of the silliest acts out there, this show has technology! Great fun, stupid, daft. Loved it. If you're in #coffs or #bellingen #bellingenShire they're on tomorrow (Sunday) too.

I've been hanging off the bottom of this planet for 21 years, but the moon still looks upside down to me. So I've corrected the perspective this pic for #northernhemisphere folks :)
