		The area were the yowie was seem, was farming and grass land, with hardly any trees around, mostly just along the railway line, or the odd bunch of trees sitting in the middle of fields, which was used mostly for cattle.
		When I first spotted the yowie walking along the railway line towards me, I thought it was a man at first, but as it got closer the way it walk and acted I quickly realize it was not a man. Having seen a yowie before, I quickly realize what it was.

	CRANBOURNE
		We have already consulted with local business providers, and there are a number of businesses lining up to be seen as the first in Victoria, and possibly Australia, to pilot such a scheme here in Cranbourne, with the result of providing every opportunity for our youth in Cranbourne to gain useful employment.
		One of the problems Cranbourne youth face is a lack of public transport which not only puts employment opportunities at a disadvantage but does add to the youth crime rate and boredom within our town - hence the need to base the programme where it can be accessed-locally.
		Cranbourne was also declared Victoria's first graffiti-free city in 2003 after the community resoundingly supported our campaign for an anti-graffiti strategy.

		Melbourne: Where the only PT to 2/3rds of the population runs roughly hourly 7am-6pm M-F plus Saturday Mornings, and expanding the hourly service to run 7 days a week in a few years time is supposed to be a major improvement worthy of praise.
		MAJOR level crossings in Melbourne's south-east are likely to be removed as part of a $1 billion upgrade of the crowded Dandenong rail line.
		In Clayton if the whole line was sunk from the up side of Clayton road to the down side of Centre road they'd surely be able to recoup massive amounts of cash by selling air-rights and building on top (very wide corridor would make it less painful to build as well).

		Likewise, it is critical that both the Rowville and Doncaster East railway lines are constructed to provide fast and convenient travel for people in these much-neglected areas.

		Even with a railway line, this extension is still needed as it would improve access to Doncaster from Kew East and Balwyn North, while also providing a linkage with the railway line when it is built.
