We'll be back!

Channel 9 News finally gave us all a close up look at the destruction of our beautiful park - and, for those who have spent any time at Colleges Crossing - it was gut wrenching.
The park has been a magnet for people of the south-east for a century. Now its a pile of rubble.
But, the council has pledged to rebuild - and the job is enormous. Have a look at the Nine news story by Darren Curtis: http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/colleges-crossing-a-disaster-zone/xr3nld5
or click on the headline.
Its hard to picture what it will look like after the bulldozers start the reshaping of the park.
Getting there is also going to be a challenge - I checked out the alternate route over the Mt Crosby weir road - and its already a construction zone.

The Mt Crosby Road bridge over Colleges Crossing has been submerged since the 8th Jan and punished by the raging Brisbane River flood. Look what that water did to the park - what has it done to the structural integrity of the bridge.
When can we start selling coffee? I think its going to be some time before we can realistically consider it.
But this area is resilient - and changed a bit over the years - here's a picture taken in 1915.

As the promised reconstruction gets underway its doubtful that it will look exactly like it used to - here's some memories:

Whatever happens - it will still be Colleges
- a unique riverside park. And, we'll be there at its rebirth.
