Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alana from the newsrooms in the studio with us too. Hello.
You ever seen Alana do her her weird hellos robin
where you know you would shake hands with someone, you
go in with your hand on the side or your
high five, your holy hand up. She puts her hand
out flat like she's feeding a horse carrots, and then
you have to work out what to do with it?
What do you want us to do with that? You know?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's crazy? Is I Actually I don't know. And I
told my friends about it because everybody said, yeah, you
do that all the time. We just kind of they
just place their hand on it and then hold my hands.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Making a sandwich. She just came out to me like that,
and I was like, Kip is.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
One of the first people who has raised it to me,
and because he just goes.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm not doing that?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I'm just not I mean, I'll do a high five
or a low five, but I don't know what that is.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But this is this is actually a good prelude into
this conversation because unless you know it sticks to the rules,
it's logical. Things have to work in a sequence and
everyone needs to be able to understand it instantly, which
is why when it comes to naming a train station
he goes for the most boring option.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yes, so Albert Street in the city is the one
they're talking. It's going to open in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Oh, I'm not sure exactly when it's opening it, but yeah,
so the opening of the new Cross River rail station,
and it's going to be the first new train station
in the city in over one hundred years. They need
a new name for it. All the other Cross River
Rail sites already have their name and they're very simple.
I think Kip will love these. We've got Boggo Road
at Boggo Road, wool and Gabba at will and Gaba.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is what it says on the box, Roma Street
at Roma Street. Perfect.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But now the Albert Street station, they're thinking we should
put it to a public vote. So there's four options.
One of them is Albert Street.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, tick.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
The other options are Brisbane City Okay. It's in the middle.
I like that City Botanic Garden station. It is very
It's basically it's going to be between Queen Street and
the Botanic Gardens, so it is very close. If you
wanted to get off, yes, it would be just a
quick little skip over it through the gardens. Then the
fourth option, and this is where it's quite contentious. In
(02:06):
this station Frog's Hollow station.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Why Apparently that's what it used to be called, like
in the like the nineteen hundreds, like alone, the district
was the Frog's Hollow district. Apparently that's what I was
just saying about it.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
That sounds like something out of Wind in the Willow.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It does. And yeah, it's ridiculous. Imagine being a Japanese
tourist and you go, I need to get to the
center of the city. Where do I go? Frogs Hollow Noll?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Too hard?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It easy for people, it is.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Look, it is good that I guess, you know, counsels
and governments are learning and because you know, it's not
like it's just open slather and everyone can put in
mc albert. Yes, yeah, so it's only multiple choice. But
I think they, you know, they had to put something
in there with a little bit of a flourish, a
(02:56):
little bit of a sparkle.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yes. Otherwise it is bor Yeah, Boring is what you
want with public transport. I want to know where I'm going,
especially if I'm from out of town. I want it
to be exactly what it says on the box. No,
Albert Street, that's where I'm going, take me there.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But it's like, where is it Evidence Hills Way? I
think Jinker Track.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh, I don't know that that.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Is my favorite Okay, that's really niche this is that
is my favorite road in Brisbane.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, Jinker Track is what there's a driving like a
regular car. It's a normal road road called Jinker Track.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, o road, and it's very normal, but it doesn't Yeah,
but on the maps it doesn't look like it, so
maybe they only recently paved it. But yeah, I mean,
well I've never thought that. I thought that's the name
of the road. That's so. But yeah, I think I
think Frog's Hollow. Once you know that it's there, that it's.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
There, so you're both voting for Frogs Hollow.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, much better than the boring other stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We haven't had a train station there your whole life.
Why does it matter what it's called.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Because you know, I want to know where I'm going.
I've already forgotten where the freaking Jinker Track is. It
sounds like it's in Kakota. I don't think it's in
Evidence Where Hills. And if it had been called a
proper Fenny Hills road. You know where it was.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I don't live anywhere near there, and I remember that
because it's cute, memorable.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's memorable.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Drink a track.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Thirteen one oh six fives out number if you want
to speak reason to do this situation or just buy along,
whatever you want to do,
