If I got the locality right this is one of the notorious garden waste dumping sites in the reserve east of Mackenzie street - I can only hope that dumping has now stopped with green bins available. The bins should be affordable even for the wealthy residents at Mackenzie street. But then ....old habits die hard.
It always fascinated me that people prefer dumping garden waste around large eucalptus even using wheelbarrows to cart their waste, as I observed a number of times, rather than just throwing over the fence...
