The finishing touches applied to the mega store which hopes to build mega consumerism.
From acorns mighty oak trees grow is the famous old saying.
Miss Eagle, on her way to work, walks past the latest addition to the Mega Mile in Whitehorse Road, Nunawading, Melbourne.
It is with mixed feelings that Miss Eagle sees one more mighty temple to the worship of consumerism erected.
Between the car park and the footpath, Miss Eagle found the acorns dropped from these oaks above. One day - notwithstanding climate change and combustion engine fuels and chemicals - they might become mighty.

It's bloody frightening, isn't it. A friend told me today Doncaster Shopping Centre is being renovated...again. It is going to be made bigger, apparently with a bigger theatre complex. I shudder when I think of all the resources used to build and rebuild these places, that could be used instead to build better schools, hospitals, etc. or even just not be used at all. Let the trees stand, let the minerals stay in the ground.. The Grollos of this world seem to think the planet's resources are limitless, and unfortunately, they won't be around to suffer the consequences when everything runs out and there is nothing left to plunder.
