Sundry sights
This is more or less a collection of snaps which I think interesting, but not enough to put in a free standing post. (I have also added a few bits and pieces to the August Music Post.)
The first few images are of Como: I was first aware of this place when I drove my VW from Adelaide to Melbourne in 1970, delivering a friend to the Airport. The only tourist attraction we could find mentioned was this place, which didn't appeal to us. I can't remember how we filled in the first day, but do remember the drive home, due to snow starting at Bacchus Marsh and finishing about Horsham. I refueled at Bordertown, with snow still on the front of the car: the guy who pumped the fuel (they still did it then) said he'd never seen snow so thought he'd drive for a look when he knocked off in the afternoon (only 150 kms).
A couple of T'rak bungalows.
This one dated from 1913 and had some interesting garden design (as well as the chess set).
A sample of street art - I'm pretty sure by Tom Gerrard, who also does stuff on canvas.
The first time I have seen the words 'Goat' and 'Hygiene' juxtaposed!
On the evening of the 16th I went for a very enjoyable Trivia Night at the Lake Albert Yacht Club, raising funds for Lake Alive. I took these views of cranes reflected in the Lake during a break in proceedings.
We won! And I have the bottle of red to prove it!
