ABC Radio National had an interesting program on the possible demise of the Narrabundah Longstay Caravan Park located next to Fyshwick on its “Street Stories” program. It consisted mainly of interviews of the residents and was definitely biased in their favour. Some interesting facts came out that I didn’t know of such as that the ACT gov gave the land to Koomarri, assumedly on the understanding they would keep the Park going, but Koomarri then sold it within a year or two to a developer for a small fortune. Within days of contract settlement the developer then sent eviction letters to all the residents given them their marching orders. So much for Koomarri’s community charity bleeding heart! You can listen to the program again tonight (Sunday) at 8pm or online here: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/streetstories/stories/2008/2228066.htm
