Happy Easter


We are back home after three days exploring more of the central west. This photo was taken today during a leisurely lunch in the city of Bathurst and the sign below was at the Mount Canobolas Tea Rooms (near the city of Orange) this morning. There are lots more country shots to come in a week or so but in the meanwhile please enjoy the Wentworth Falls walk currently in progress on the Blue Mountains Journal.

    Love the angle! Look at that sky bearing down on the city. Must go and have a look at BoM to see if it's coming this way.

    I love the filligree in the cast-iron balustrade. I have been collecting some examples of this from around the Eastern Suburbs but cannot quite decide what to do with them.

    The nice thing about the chalk-board message is that it screams out that it was written by a young person. That is encouraging ...

    I love that both photos convey the same message so well. I hope you had a wonderful Easter, JE.
    We have a new rector and I experienced my first paschal fire this morning. It was very elemental, very satisfying.

    PJ. I'd never heard of paschel fire so looked it up on the web. Where would we be without the web and fellow bloggers to expand our horizons.

    Julie, I am sure one of your collages of the iron lace collection will appear one day ... looking forward to it.

    Love your photos! I grew up just outside Orange on an orchard at Canobolas so it was interesting to view the photos. Might want to check your spelling of "Canobolas".

    Hi Rampanred, thanks for the nudge to fix that typo. If you follow my blogs for long you'll learn that spelling (or more specifically typing accurately) is not my strong suit. The current journey it ends with photos taken at Mt Canobolas but unfortunately I missed getting a shot of the orchards.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an inc...

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Coolibah?

Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
