Why I live in Daylesford

I first came to Daylesford as a 10-year-old boy on a school excursion from my 2-classroom primary school in Keilor, when Keilor was little more than a market garden. Since then, Melbourne has grown like a malignant cancer. I came to Daylesford to get away from that and now it seems we are all to be in the firing line. Our lazy governments don't want to face the facts of overpopulation and its daughter, climate change. Instead, they opt for exponential growth at the behest of faceless multinational CEOS and unelected one-trick ponies who leave ordinary citizens to be sacrificed on the alters of their egos.
