A very nice parking attendant told me that they were instructed not to allow cars to park within 3 metres of the trunk of a large tree and under no circumstances were they to park on the mulch. What about this one? Oh, that's OK. It's only a little tree and this car will be gone...

The instructions apparently are, "Don't park within 3 metres of the trunk of a large tree. And under no circumstances park on the mulch."

At half time literally hundreds of kids and their dads are kicking footies out side. Many on the concrete apron, but many also amongst the cars. What fun! What imaginative people the AFL and the MCC are to provide such facilities!
