Sea Lines 1 of 7


It is not a very interesting beach, just big and sandy with waves rolling and rolling.  That's why I always think about lines when I am by the sea.

The beach also has a line of ships on the horizon.  Waiting to be loaded at Port Kembla I guess.

    I love it Joan - we're further away from our lovely watery spot at the moment and looking at your photo I can hear that lovely constant gentle sound when one stands by the surf.
    The theme of lines is so descriptive - even the lines of colour - there's so much going on out there :D)

    I am not much of a sea person myself I find it too restless and blowy but I do enjoy an occasional visit.

    Isn't that funny - how an environment can impact upon people differently?
    I've never noticed lines at the beach.
    To me it feels like a big swirly expanse.
    And that blowy restlessness you feel, feels to me like umm (what word?) ...... freedom.

      Yes I know how much the sea captivates people and think of all its movement and how many people who have moved away from the sea would yearn for it.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

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...
