Provonce

The town of Busselton is well know as a holiday destination/tourist location.
half of the homes along the foreshore are owned by people
who live there for no more than 8 weeks in a whole year.

With this in mind the town approved the building of a suburb called Provonce,
designed to mimic little Italy and attract potential out of town home buyers.
Blue cobble stone, fancy gazebos and intricate metal work line the streets.
Interesting you might say?
You might also be interested to know that this fake little suburb
was built smack bang on cow shit covered farmland!
Plus they also destroyed one of our most treasured skate spots to build it,
dam them!

Lucky they made a super fun, metal edged bridge to skate in its place.

These ledges would hardly grind even without skate stoppers.
