Definitely seen better days.
What’s left of an old stone crusher.
Now obsolete, this old drill/seeder has been re-purposed

Images of…
…Paronella Park…
….in Queensland.
A must visit…
…for soldiers…
…on R and R…
I love those shots of the soldiers’ rest home. So dramatic, Woolly. It’s time for us to explore Queensland on our next visit to Oz. 😀

If you visit Cairns, just don’t swim at the beach. I decided to paddle in the water, wondering why no-one else was doing likewise. As I was leaving I noticed a sign, facing the water, warning not to swim because of the crocodiles lurking there. 😧😧

Oh my Woolly, your images of the old soldiers’ park are kind of heartbreaking – what a sad ending to a place meant to rejuvenate!

It is I guess. Paronella was built by a migrant for his wife. It also boasts the first hydraulic system in Australia if my memory is correct. All Australian soldiers were given towels when swimming. American soldiers had to pay one shilling…about ten cents.

Love your rusted implements the best because they remind me of Southern farms and barns and all things that have seen better days!

My images are all from the Geelong region, however Dad had many of those machines rusting their life away seventy years ago.
