Re: Graffiti on Stations.

[Chris French <cfrench@starwon.com.au>]

Yes, I know what you mean. The Claremont Cabin Volunteers watched the
graffiti being removed from all over the Claremont Station on Friday 5th
March, only to see all the stupid tags back again the very next morning
when we opened th cabin for the public. Worst of all, when we cleaned
the cabin windows, we discovered that one of the windows nearest the
footbridge had a tag scratched into the glass - over a nine metre fall!
Obviously, the tagger had no fear of heights.

I think it's a disease. The so-called 'artists' will say that they are
'bored' and that 'there is nothing to do', etc., but we all know there
is more than enough to keep them occupied in just the railway
preservation area alone. That is, if we can ever 'win back' the youth of
today from their self-imposed adoption of American street culture.

At Claremont on a weekend, we have literally swarms of skate-boarders in
'typical' US street-gang outfits rumbling up and down the platforms and
across the footbridge. At times, I wonder if there will ever be another
generation of railway enthusiasts.

Regards,
Chris. French.
