The Euroa Goods Shed has been #demolished this morning. We will post photos of the demolition soon. It was done, as we expected, with little respect for its heritage materials.
Thanks to everybody who got behind this #campaign to save our 1873 shed.
This is sorry news we know for all those who worked in it, knew its history, and valued its #heritage.
Sadly David doesn’t always triumph against #Goliath and ARTC became bloody minded about the way they dealt with the community.
I’m very sorry to hear this, particularly for all the people who fought so hard, for so long to keep this shed. Who gets to decide what stays and what has to go, is often not the community and that’s soul destroying. Generally this makes me think that there is very little recognition for heritage as a way of working out Australia’s cultural story.
Who Australia was and, is. No wonder Australians find it hard to define what Australian culture is.From indigenous to early colonial to the post war period, there are gaps and then there are favourite bits. As a German immigrant I feel that this might be a clue to this country ‘s unreconciled sense of self. This is sad, and all too common. says Sabine Smyth
Our challenge to Goliath to deliver community connection thru BINNEYLINK continues.
We will be in touch. Stay tuned.
