Vintage Canberra

It’s springtime in Australia! Here’s an image of the season in Canberra in the past.

It’s Spring!

It’s spring in Canberra! Here are two woman in Canberra of old, walking up a hill among spring blossoms, with a 1930s Vauxhall behind them.

The picture was taken by Frank Hurley.

From the collection of the National Library of Australia, Canberra.

When you’re a bit old and a bit scruffy, but you still have one excellent head feather.

Bushfires Now??

I guess we might as well start the weekend with another bushfire. In WINTER.

The geriatrics have arrived!

Winter Walk in Canberra

I walked to the library on this beautiful winter afternoon to return some books. The way this pandemic is unfolding I suspect we’re going to have closed libraries again soon …

Dreary Weekend

I trudged down the hill to the local shops to buy a newspaper today, because I knew the headline everyone was running with online was deliberately misleading and I wanted to read the facts (a recommended activity for everyone in these crazy times!).

The best thing about a dreary Saturday afternoon? You get all the footpaths to yourself. The worst thing? I can’t feel my fingers!
