The wrong way to lower your car
Locals say water had been running from under the pavement of Crown Street Woolloomooloo near this giant Celtis Australis tree for some days. Then on Monday down it came, crushing a Holden Barina which belonged to a local resident judging by the resident parking sticker on its windscreen. Local resident Sebastian Andrews arrived a few minutes later: “It happened at about midday,” he said. “The publican said water had been leaking into their cellar beforehand.”
Celtis Australis trees, a native semi-deciduous variety, are regarded as a weed by many arborists and the City has a policy of gradually removing them from streets.
