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…
Canberra Balloon Festival 2022
One of the highlights (for some of us, anyway) of the autumn Enlightened Festival in Canberra is the Canberra Balloon Festival. This is a quick blog from the 2022. Balloon Festival. I have a few photos from Enlightened proper that I might put out in a future blog, but to start with, here are my…
My favourites from the Canberra Model Railway Expo
This week you’re getting a bit of commentary on my favourites from the Canberra Model Railway Expo. Sorry for a bit of a rehash, but there were lots of photos in the Expo gallery and I didn’t really get to talk much about most of them. This week has been a bit busy with Uni…
33rd Canberra Model Railway Expo
Back at the end of March the Canberra Model Railway Club Inc. held its most recent annual model railway expo. According to the little booklet you get on entry, it is the 33rd annual expo they have held in their 62 year history. My father and grandfather both used to have quite large model railway…

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…
National Zoo and Aquarium photos
My family and I have been fairly regular attendees at the National Zoo and Aquarium over the years. Being in Canberra, it is our local zoo. The kids (at least when younger!) loved looking at the animals, and Zoo excursions were a regular thing. We even had a family membership for a couple of years.…
Merimbula – Part One
This is part one of a three part series. Part two is here, and part three is here. This pandemic has been getting everyone down. I’m no different. I have managed to escape from Canberra a few times – getting up to Dubbo during 2020, and to Narooma during 2021. Both of those are places…
