How to Make a NSW Quilt

Take a NSW Road, probably not a Federal road, Definitely not on the way to work for a Minister or the Premier. Probably not a Sydney street, or in a marginal seat, but it’s a road used daily by locals and tourists alike.
And just past the entrance to the country club.

A hole is born
The hole is patched

Another hole is born
This hole is patched

It rains again
Another hole is Born then patched
Bump

It Rains yet again, a hole is born then patched
Bump

Repeat for 5 years, just patched, never resurfaced

No road left, just patch on patch on patch.
Speed limit reduced because of the state of the road.
Will it ever get fixed?
How bad does it have to get?
Does a serious accident need to occur to get something done to this road?
Too bad for your tyres or suspension,
Too bad state taxes increase to improve roads, where does the money go?
You know this road, it’s somewhere you’ve been, that’s’s if you travel through NSW
Inspired by driving near Halidays point and driving through hunter valley vineyards

  1. Yep that sounds just right. There is a road like that next to a bus stop near where I live.
    I've been here six years, and I reckon its been patched about 10 times in that time. Nice for about a week and then it all falls out.
