Please tune in and listen as Mark Mordue talks to Eastside Radio about his journalism background and writing poetry, and how he came to be involved with a new children’s book called ‘The Hollow Tree’ – written with a lot of help from children of the Inner West and all his friends at Addison Road Community Centre Organisation!
“We’ve gone from planted Australian suburbs of the post-War period to a different kind of Australian dream: more built up and denser, an unregulated death by a 1000 cuts to the urban forest.”
Can a dying tree save a city?
A major new conference called ‘Rethinking the Urban Forest’ is being convened this Friday in Marrickville at the Addison Road Community Centre. It will look how we can create a greener, better city for living creatures of all kinds, ourselves included.
