Rosanna’s tour is simple and touching. Her last tour – her own comment i have experienced many times. Sometimes I feel guilty when I say I live in Carlton ‘where?’ a person might ask . ‘ Oh lygon street’ I reply thinking of the ugly grey tower and what it seems to mean to so many people in Melbourne.
Just the other day passing 480 block on a tram – woman to out- of- town companion ‘ thats where the trash live – they are lowest and they are all druggies there…….’ warming to her subject she continued on. I felt a bit sad and angry , but then I only live there.
