Rod Fyffe, in the street one day, and asked him why has the Show been moved from the Town to the outer suburbs,
He informed me that the reason why was because of the power cords, and it was unsafe for people to walk over them,
I replied to him by saying i didn't realize the rides don't need power cords to run them at the new site.
With that he walked away and i smiled.

It was so unique and really brought the CBD to life. I especially remember when I worked at the Beehive with all the stalls set up along Pall Mall, a real hive of activity ensued on Ester Saturday while business at the Beehive was thriving. When I learnt of the removal of the street carnival quite some years ago, I was terribly saddened. I was in Bendigo last Easter and noted how dead the CBD was, it just didn't feel like the Easter Fair I used to know :(

We voted against the extra park lands, we are getting it, we want more parking, we get costly limited time parking, we want to support tourism and we get the greatest festival bendigo has half taken away. And as for the residents who live near by and don't like the noise and lights, why buy a house near an entertainment venue!!! A little forward thinking would go along way. Keep the traditions and keep your citizens happy!

They "Council" have stated they want this city to be the best and most liveable city in Australia - by taking part of the history away will not bring the people here to visit let alone stay and live here. WAKE UP BEOFRE ITS TOO LATE. Listen to the people who have voted you in!!

If it's not broken don't fix it.
