Canberra

Canberra - Ausrtalia's National Capital
View along Anzac Parade from the War Memorial to Parliament House.
We spend a lovely winter weekend in Canberra recently and among other things visited the War Memorial.  It reminded me of a story I wrote when recording my family history 12 years ago so I dug it out. The text will be much longer then my usual posts but may amuse the Baby Boomers among us.

The story is titled "Lest we Forget". I will spread it over the next week and a bit as I take you around the War Memorial.

    This is a grand view. I am always affected by it. Looking forward to the tour and the story.

    I'm really looking forward to this glance back in time.
    Love the pic of Canberra - such wide streets.

    Haven't been to the War Memorial for a long time. It will be good to be taken around by you.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
