Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Martha Cove and Marina, Mornington Peninsula is a beautiful, scenic world of shining boats waiting for journeys.
But all is not as it seems.
Look closely at the expensive, coloured, same "little boxes" along the waterway leading to Port Phillip Bay, and you will find many are empty.
Nearby, is another new development where streets of blocks of land can't be sold.
The developer went into liquidation over this 92 hectare $650 million "nightmare project"!
{Ref: Bad Developers ~ Martha Cove Development (Tassels Creek)}
Today, we spoke to a man with a yacht moored in the marina!
He said that there were no accessible retail facilities (such as for washing) so he was just stopping awhile before moving on to Queenscliff across the Bay!
A sign says retail is coming soon!
It has been there for about two years!
Enough said!

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

It's sad. Unfortunately, there are bad developers all over the world. The photo is beautiful.
And such a beautiful picture to have been tainted by greed!
Lovely poem !!
Sheilagh Lee said wow you managed to get that point across in such few words bravo and so true!Such a shame
Lovely post! So different from my white and cold world :)
your haiku is very sad, and very true.
Oh! Sad!
Namaste,
you have captured a twist in our affairs. Thank you.
Nice Haiku with a message. A willingly tainted blotch that is plausible.
You captured this tragedy so well.
peace,
JP/deb
