Harcourt - Calder Freeway Construction
Freeway construction bypassing Harcourt to the west of the Calder Highway (which is the main road through the middle of the township) and also to the west of the Melbourne-Bendigo rail line. Notice the dwellings at the edge of the trees at the top right, suddenly finding themselves beside a freeway after more than 100 years of quiet out-of-town living. If you look at the larger image you will also see a feeble attempt at noise mitigation along the freeway at the front of the farm. There are also a couple of hobby-farm, tree-change type dwellings to the right of the picture which will also experience a change from the sounds of cockatoos flying overhead to the sounds of a 24 hour expressway on their doorstep. The bridge carries the freeway over the new road that connects the residents from the west of the freeway with the township.
