WINDMILL SKY

Iconic to outback Australia are the old windmills. They stand tall and proud in a vast field. There is the characteristic sound of metal creaking as the blades rotate round and round, ever so slowly as the wind blows...  Invented in America the 1850’s, windmills have been a huge part of Australian history.

The windmill meant people could access water without being anywhere near surface-water sources. With windmills, people could inhabit and develop new areas of country by drilling a bore into an artesian deposit and the wind-powered pump could draw the water up to a reservoir for livestock to access.

END OF YEAR SUNSET

As the end of 2024 is fast approaching, it's time to reflect a little - and what better and more apt time than a sunset for doing so. A mixed year, as they all tend to be, but it seems the world is becoming a little more crazy as the years go by. This is a man of the last century speaking, so I come with all sorts of experiences and memories that the youth of today would find quite quaint and old-fashioned. Maybe I'm a bit of a dinosaur, going towards extinction, but I'll die a happy dinosaur...

MOONSET

Looking towards the West at the Darebin Parklands, seeing the moon setting, while the sun is rising behind me.

RUBBISH NIGHT

Taking out the rubbish and enjoying a view of the moon amongst the clouds as it goes towards the West to set.
