Odd Ball

Week 17, 2016

~~~~~

Last Friday I visited Balyang Sanctuary

for the first time this year.

I became quite excited when I spied this duckling

through my camera lens.

As I took my camera away from my eye I noticed two more.

However, they changed direction before I could snap them.

I thought they looked a bit odd.

Then I zoomed in for a close up.

It was April 22nd and not April 1st.

Better luck in the spring maybe.

ANZAC DAY 2016

Lest We Forget

A few weeks ago I happened to pass through

Corindhap township.

Corindhap Avenue of Honour

The Avenue of Honour caught my eye

and I have included it as my

2016 ANZAC Day tribute.

Corindhap Avenue of Honour

Opened in 1917, the young cypress trees planted to

mark, line and  commemorate World War 1,

have now been removed.

However, not they are not totally gone.

Several have been turned into sculptures,

recognising various aspects of war.

And those left behind…

to tend home and family and receive the bad news.

Corindhap now has a population of

around 100 people (Wikipedia)

a far cry from its peak of 5,000 in the

mid 1800s when gold was discovered nearby.
