Driver jokes Glenrowan was 'destroyed' by freeway bypass
Original: It's funny, I would have sworn Glenrowan was still there and intact when I drove past, but that's the thing with freeway
An Australian motorist has made a wry observation about driving past Glenrowan in Victoria, joking that freeway bypasses make it impossible to tell whether the towns you pass are still intact or have been 'destroyed'. The remark touches on a familiar gripe about highway upgrades that steer traffic around historic country towns, leaving travellers unsure what remains off the exit ramp.
Why now: Freeway bypasses of small Australian towns are a perennial topic of light-hearted complaint among drivers
Evidence
- It's funny, I would have sworn Glenrowan was still there and intact when I drove past, but that's the thing with freeway bypasses. You never know if the town you're passing is still there at the end of the off-ramp, or if it's been DESTROYED # solar # renewables · bencourtice@aus.social · 14
