Nice. Have lived in Canberra for 5 years and have shamefully never made the trek to the Collector pumpkin fest.

Thanks Gav – have learnt a lot today about his house in Ainslie. But that’s another story (and one I’m sure you know!)

Wow looks incredible. I have never even heard of this being at Collector. Were you there for the pumpkin festival?

So glad to know it is still there… Went with Tony to see it ten years ago and some people were trying to get it pulled back then so he must have won that fight. Will ask around to see if anyone knows where he is. Gav

Oh no I’ve only just seen this! Was mixed up with spam somehow! So sorry I haven’t been in to say hi yet. I was just there this morning too… Are you still looking for some help with writing or has that boat sailed? :/

Hi Yolande, we the Lonsdale St traders loved your article and the way it reflected us as a group of traders. We are interested in talking to you about writing for us a media release or article in an intelligent light that doesn’t use the H word…. Can you pop in and see us, Nick at Unit, or Belinda and Lou at the Florist Moxom and Whitney or we can come to you… Thanks again for you great article.

Thanks! Only hours after writing this I picked up the latest edition of BMA Magazine to read some of Glen Martin’s thoughts on this very subject.
Glen writes: “Braddon has gone from the little Melbourne that could to the little suburb enjoying its moment in the sun before the vast apartment structures either side of Lonsdale Street threaten to obscure that sun and ruin this moment of grace for all time. I’m 100%, more even, 120% for urban infill and more people living in apartments in the city”…”But what Braddon has stumbled upon is something rare – actual, accidental character. The auto shops and Centrelink nuzzling against some pretty fine caffeine merchants and the lovely market atmosphere of the Traders’ building create a genuine urban experience, something notable in our planned and coiffed city. Will further development enhance or ruin? Bringing another 1000 souls into the suburb will create a buzz and that’s a great thing. But we hope that the development will be handled with a view to what is good about the place – the mix. For now, we’ve enjoyed Braddon 2012. Long may it remain varied, slightly ugly and full of treasures.”
