In todays West Australian the Westralia Square site has been voted Perths worst eyesore, and 'everybody' is pleased that it will soon have a new tower complex built on it after 17+ years as a big hole in the ground.
Unfortunately this means the end of the small wetland that has developed over the spring behind the old Perth Boys school, at the bottom of the hole.
When I commuted every day to Uni I used to enjoy seeing what birds were there, perfectly safe at the bottom of the 20m+ hole.
There aren't many Capital cities where you can see such things on your way to the Busport.
