They run tours to Chernobyl, you can explore buildings and the old villages.Everything is still the same as when everyone left.
You get a tour guide with a Geiger counter and then have to go through a airport like metal detector which reads your radiation levels.A few old locals still live in the area with no power, no running water etc.

What the feck happens to Hawthorn FC if the State Rail loop gets kiboshed?
Those long term projections are based on hosting games at a boutique station that has a suburban rail loop station effectively under the venue. There must be some grey looking executives floating around Waverley Park today!
The AFL can't have Hawthorn fail, so that means we all end up subsidising that folly!

We would stop at the bottom of Oliver's Hill on the way home for an Ice-cream from the vans that would be in the carpark.

I lived on top of "Snob Hill" and my paperound went up and down it...

We went for a walk around the to the VFL ground, the flash new units and townhouses in the back streets aren't going to be flop houses of the 80s and 90s, most of us won't be able to afford them! Cars parked around the area are a tell, BMW, Merc, Astin, Audi even a Ferrari.
How is this for good fortune, my mates brother won Tattslotto, so his brother bought him "the cottage" at the top of Olivers Hill!

I'm not pointing any fingers! :

Holy mackerel! Memory lane stuff! Olivers Hill was one of my fave 'parking' spots! Along with Gulls Way. Or a 'fun' evening at the Dromana Drive-in! We lived in Franganstan South... the elite side of Franger
) ) ) So many friends from that area... Fleetwood Cres and surrounds. Much mischief at Sweetwater Creek too. :-X

We lived in Franganstan South... the elite side of FrangerNearly bought a house in Fleetwood Cres years ago, double story had floor to second storey ceiling mirrors that came out of the old Vic State Theatre. We went and got lunch at John Hasting's cafe, Mr Frankie, around in Norman Ave as well.

Was it you who threw the rocks through Jack Dyers front window after the 73 GF, the infamous game that saw Balme king hit Gentlement Geoff Southby?
