Canberra’s role in the moon landings
As I mentioned last week, I went for a drive out to Tidbinbilla the other weekend. (See here). On the way home I stopped in on a couple of other sites to see along that stretch of road. First, I visited the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. From there, I went and got some photographs…
A beautiful winter’s day in Canberra
I must say, last Saturday was a most stunningly beautiful winter’s day in Canberra. The very epitomy of a Canberra winter’s day. Quite chilly overnight (my system said -2oC); but when the sun came out, it was a glorious clear sunny day. The sun was gloriously warm, even if the air wasn’t so much. The…
Home Projects
This week is just a short post on some home projects I have in the pipeline. The last few weeks (months, actually) I have been a little preoccupied with getting through a bunch of Uni assignments. That has left me a little short on time for taking photographs or coming up with interesting content to…

National Zoo and Aquarium – 2021
During one of the open times in 2021, the kids and I did one of our periodic visits to the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra. As is usually the case, I took the camera. The zoo is usually quite popular, and getting photographs without other people in them can be challenging. Also, I don’t…
Merimbula – Part Three
This is the third installment. Part One and Part Two can be found on their respective links. On the third day, I decided to do the Mundooi walk. It runs from Short Point, in Merimbula, along the coast hinterland behind Short Point Beach to the Short Point Beach carpark beside the Tura Beach golf course.…
Merimbula – Part Two
Continuing the story of my Merimbula trip. The previous installment is here and the next instalment is here. On the second day, I set out for another afternoon walk. This walk also started from near the town centre, but on the other side. The Merimbula Boardwalk goes inland(ish) up one side of the lake. On…
