The album cover for the Famous Final Five (and their lecturer) that we had to have! In 1975 George Seddon wrote a book on exploring Melbourne’s parks called ‘Somewhere to Go on Sunday’ where he rated Hedgeley Dene Gardens as one of most effective and beautiful neighbourhood parks in the metropolitan area. He also described how local kids would climb on the branches of the Chinese Elms. Well, I was one of those kids!! Today I invited the class to join me on a nostalgic revisiting of (safe) branch climbing. It’s been fun bringing students here for the last eight years... #awesomeparks #kidadults #adultkids #relivingchildhood #sunnyspringday #arboristnightmare #urbanparks #lastchildinthewoods #naturalplayscape #checkingmyprivilege #ulmusparvifolia #climbingtrees
