It's a shame the resisters have finally had their way and cancelled the plans for an Erebus Memorial at Dove Meyer Robinson Park in Parnell.
Still, I suppose those opposed will be happy with the outcome.
I visited the site several times and thought it was an inspired choice, along with the existing memorial in that park. It provided a space that invited reflection and a connection to the skies of Aotearoa.
Contrary to what Annie Coney and Jo Malcolm claim, there was no proposal to limit access to the park. Perhaps now the alternative site of Coxs Bay could be reconsidered.
