For this year’s birthday I went on a photo adventure through Tallong, Burrawang and Bundanoon with Deano, Lauren & Craig. Highlights of the drive included some good shots (IMHO) of a rail bridge near Tallong, lunch at the Burrawang Village Hotel and more eats at The Red Violin Cafe in Bundanoon.

Brodburgers and Block-Rocking Beats For Three More Weeks
Good news, everybody! According to the man with the van, Mr B himself, the Brodburger crew have been granted a respite from the order to move on by 1 June. They’ll be serving the crowds who make the pilgrimage to Bowen Park for another three weeks.
Brodburger on NCA Agenda
Canberra’s little red burger van that could – Brodburger – is on the agenda of this year’s National Capital Authority Public Forum at the Australian War Memorial theatre tomorrow night. This may be one of the last chances to voice your opinion on whether Brodburger stays or goes from Bowen Park.
It’s part of agenda item three, which is scheduled to kick off at 6.20pm. Agenda item three has eight community-nominated topics to discuss in 40 minutes; just five minutes each if the timekeeper is fair.
The Brodburger crew put a call out for supporters to join them at the forum:
We would like to encourage you to register to join us at the NCA public forum, as we will be discussing the future of Brodburger at Bowen Park. If you are able to attend registration can be made from the link below:
www.nationalcapital.gov.au/publicforumThank you again for your support.
I’m travelling and probably not going to make it back in time to attend. If you go along, I’d really appreciate an update in the comments as to how the discussion goes. Better yet, try and get some audio and/or video.
Brodburger Update
Brodburger has reopened for 2010 – well, at least the first half of it – and they have a new option on the menu; the Brodsteak. I’m going to walk down there and get one tonight.

The crew are still gathering signatures on the petition to the local authorities who want to move them on, so get down there and sign it!
Save Brodburger
Bad news burger fans, the man wants the little red van that could to get its boots on and start walking. Returning to the van after a lengthy absence, I discovered that Brodburger’s hawker licence is soon to expire and that they’ve been told to move on by June 1, 2010.
The signage on site is slim on detail, but talking to Charlie – Bowen Park’s resident Brodburger enthusiast and the artist who produced the van’s beautiful burnt wood signage – reveals that the reason behind the move-on order is because “they think the van’s ugly”. The NCA seem happy to ignore that Brodburger’s reinvigorated what was a mostly ignored, underused park and brought some quirky character to the area.
Charlie has started a petition to be delivered to the NCA requesting that the hawker’s licence be extended. He told me he got 400 signatures in the first two days. If you’ve ever had a burger there and want to save the van, get down there before Christmas and sign it or you’ll have to wait a few weeks. The Brodburger crew are taking a break from Christmas day through to January 14, according to a message from the Brodburger Appreciation Society on Facebook.
