Bunker Hill update

So hot today the kangaroos went into the dam (click for zoom-in).
That's the 6AM view West from my bed in Western Victoria that I woke up to this morning (just as I saw a fox). The Waubra wind turbines are on the horizon and have red flashing lights in the night. Below is the view from the table I'm sitting at now. My week in the paddocks is done and I was loathe to leave.
Meanwhile over atMarshall Stacks there is evidence of the innocence of Colin Hay.

Blogger On A Cast Iron Balcony

Overlooking the marina at Cannes 1976. This photograph shows a person who has just eaten their first ever croissant, and bowl of milk coffee. Later that day she did a favour for Rockin Reggie Vincent who played on 'School's Out' and he hugged her. Not a bad Brush-With-Fame. Please tell me all about yours ...

Regional Art Deco

This is the frock salon of Walter Davis in the Bridge Mall of Ballarat.
A symphony of silver and black.
Inside the store has pressed Wunderlich metal walls, and all the original old cabinetry like glove drawers and the glass doors on the cabinets where lovely gowns once hung, and a row of chandeliers for lighting. Ballarat Courier's photo of the interior. Follow link for their 2004 story.
This is what the facade looked like in 1938 when Ballarat went crazy for it's centenary -
as this is yesterday's unglamorous and chilly street scene.
