FROM PACITAN TO SEMARANG

Tanggal 31 Desember 2014, kami bersama keluarga. Ada nenek, keluarga mas Nico, keluarga Bulek Ambar, keluarga Bulek Atik semua berkumpul menjadi satu.

Kami serombongan menuju ke Pantai Klayar, ternyata sampai di sana hujan turun. Kami semua menuruni pantai dengan memakai ojek karena jalan cukup licin.

Sesampai di pantai kami mencari suara seruling dan hembusan air yang bisa membuat anak menjadi tertawa karena terkena air hingga kita menjadi basah. Setelah puas, kami melanjutkan ke Gua Gong yang letaknya tidak jauh dari pantai. Di sini hanya anak-anak yang turun ke Gua Gong, yang lain berada di Parkiran. Setelah itu kami melanjutkan ke Semarang tetapi dari keluarga mas Nico tidak ikut ke Semarang, hanya sama nenek dan Bulek Atik. Kami berpisah di Sukoharjo kemudian melanjutkan ke Semarang. . Kami sampai di Semarang jam 10.00 malam.

Kami bertemu dengan keluarga dokter Andreas di Semarang dengan selamat. Kemudian anak-anak bermain di Simpang Lima untuk merayakan tahun baru. Wow, alangkah indahnya kota Semarang yang gemerlap dengan kembang api. Esok paginya kami berkemas-kemas untuk pulang ke Sragen, tetapi masih menengok saudara di Salatiga sesampai di Salatiga kami pulang ke Sragen dengan selamat.

Monash Heritage Study

Within the Oakleigh area, whose township is one of the oldest in Melbourne, Council has identified six precincts as worthy of consideration for heritage protection through including a Heritage Overlay in the Monash Planning Scheme.
What Council has tried to achieve through the Heritage Overlay is the preservation of the unique character of these precincts or neighbourhoods for the broader community living within them. With this Overlay you are still be able to extend, alter and refurbish your home after gaining a town planning permit.
No permit is required to plant and remove trees, paint interiors and exteriors in any colour or combination of colours you wish or carry out other routine maintenance around your home. Dual occupancy is also permitted if the normal planning requirements are met and the character of the heritage precinct is not adversely affected by the development.
The main change resulting from the Heritage Overlay is that all building demolitions need a planning permit from Council. In determining whether to issue the permit, Council will consider the impact on the surrounding neighbourhood of both the removal of the house and the proposed replacement building/s. Proposed developments that are not in keeping with the precinct's character are unlikely to be approved.
