    Oooh... I like this B&W. Lots of lines and curves, not to mention people interest.

      Thanks. It was still quite early so the city was not quite buzzing at that time.

    I think cafes in the city must make the most money by far since a cup of coffee is about $3 these days.

      I don't drink coffee so don't notice the price. But I am sure they make a big turnover in the mornings.

    Oh yes, must have that morning coffee. I see the lady at the end of the queue has her hand to her head ... the start of a "haven't-had-my-coffee" headache perhaps?

    I feel sorry for those who need a caffeine fix to start the day. I need a walk in the forest.

      I am one of those people that wakes up awake ... unless i have worked way too late into the night. So I don't understand the need for caffeine or sitting about waiting for the world to unfold in the morning.

      Let me see ... we walked down Phillip Street towards the harbour then turned left. I remember it had maps showing the way the harbour looked over time embedded in that seat looking thing in the foreground ... that will surely place it for you.

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.

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.

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.
