Derby - and a little family history

nobody@vox.com(petermcc) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:06:52 -0700

I’m a little behind on the blog so this is from late last week when we started to head to Derby. Some of you may have seen it on the news. To make way for a road straightening in Kununurra, this magnificent boab tree had to be moved and being ...

More Wollongong pics

Hammersley gorge

Having arrived at Tom Price, I couldn’t resist heading out to Hammersley Gorge. It was a favoured place to go to on the only day off per week back then. Not that we went there often. At 70 k from town and on the dirt, you had to decide if you wa...

Return to Tom Price

nobody@vox.com(petermcc) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:53:15 -0700

nobody@vox.com(Sergio) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:07:49 -0700

Il y a de merveilleux petits jardins tenus par les habitants d'Estaing. On accède à ces jardins par des marches étroites sans rambarde posées en affleurement de la muraille de pierre.
