"Bloody New Money". Soulless bastards in their overpriced Mctrophy industrial-like units.<br />Sorry Ilse it's not much of an obituary. but those of us that knew you remember you and your good deeds fondly. You're with your many dearly departed friends now, while those of us who remember the old days carry on in a devolving Sydney.<br />R.I.P.Flyingus Foxii.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376405536306737023.post-34586726409815611612012-02-06T20:23:10.344+11:002012-02-06T20:23:10.344+11:00I lived 2 doors down from Belltrees for a good whi...I lived 2 doors down from Belltrees for a good while, while it was being "transformed", and the noise and vibrations were unbelievable. How they managed to get away with it $$$$$$$$$ I don't know. There must be some hefty corruption in local gov't.<br />And as for the price tags of these nouveau riche industrial looking abodes, where do the buyers get their millions from?<br />I remember helping ilse feed the possums and black cat and his mates outside Belltrees in the 90s.<br />All thats gone. The soul has gone out of Onslow Ave with the death of little Maggie, and dear Carol.Friend of the late Maggie.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376405536306737023.post-23703437974513718912012-02-06T16:08:59.651+11:002012-02-06T16:08:59.651+11:00Agree 1 Onslow is inept.

I'm also puzzled as to why great efforts were expended to preserve the fabric of Belletrees in its squilliondollar makeover. Desperately dull verging on ugly little building that could have been replaced by something attractive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376405536306737023.post-47356221792156415862011-04-08T13:58:06.627+10:002011-04-08T13:58:06.627+10:00I was one of the 30 plus residents evicted from “B...I was one of the 30 plus residents evicted from “Belltrees” (after having lived there for seven years) to make way for the “4 super luxury trophy units”.
