Memorial Hill, Parkes, Victoria?

 

PS little hack Kristelle uses - pick photos on your computer that you could use for this game, copy and paste into new folder - as you use one, put into sub folder of 'used already' photos

 

follow me for more handy tips 😄

Not in Victoria

Thanks Lyle. I know the feeling of recycling photos. When I go through my files I see a nice photo, then I have to think hard as to whether I have used it previously like this next one. I may have used it before but here goes.

It's a gun on a hill. Bonus point for the name of the hill.

 

Further information.

Not many people would know of this spot. I'd guess that 99.9% of travellers would pass this spot and not know it was there. Feel free to Google it to keep things moving.

Rainbow Park named after HMCS Rainbow. A popular walking track along the shore.

Something about a park relating to nautical or navy history IIRC?

I have Somerset ancestral lines as well.  Through all the west country, in fact.  My mother’s lines are Scottish, Northern Irish  and west midlands.  I feel I’m home when I’m in the Scottish Highlands.

My Scottish grandfather came from a long line (no pun intent) of North Sea whitefishers. I'm not sure how far back, at least the 1600s from research so far. Perhaps that's why I feel comfortable at sea, especially when there's a decent swell.

On my mothers side it's almost all Dorset centric.

This one looks familiar, my imagination?

That is a real thing.

Lots of table salts are iodised and/or have an anti-caking agent. Organic table salt has neither.

Salt, sodium chloride, in non organic as it contains no carbon compounds.

We had some Himalayan salt, very confused with the timing of our buying it as it was 250 million years old but with an expiry date of 2022.

I've also noticed that. Same with honey.

I also have not bought sugar in a long long time. I have a sugar bowl with some raw sugar (bought years ago) for guests who have it  in tea or coffee. Some years ago on a HAL cruise, in Canaletto, we were offered a tray of condiments. The waitress mentioned it included organic salt!

Yesterday, a once in a decade event occured when shopping for groceries - I bought some salt😱.

Yes, it takes me about 10 years to get through a 750g cellar of salt. I only use it for putting in water when boiling pasta and to put on chips. We gave up cooking veges in salted water in the early 70s when we bought our first microwave oven.

Glad all your incidents ended safely for you both.

 

I had an issue when I was younger that concerned Devon.

My son (3years old) really liked it but we couldn't get any in Adelaide as they call it Fritz there, unfortunately he wanted Devon not Fritz and couldn't be told.

Couldn't get any Empire?

London?

Had hoped to post this sooner but was distracted by the horrific event at Westfield Bondi.

Here's the next pic. Not pretty but it's in a pretty place.

Hint: It's an airport.

It has also changed a little since photo was taken in 2012. I'll look for another pic.

Thanks. Have been there three times - which is enough. The first time was during SARS, the doors into China were  shut just after we arrived. I'll go find a pic. Stand by.

The Forbidden City?

St. Lucia?

Havana? No not there, wrong way. I'll try Aruba?

Puerto Rico?

Ft Lauderdale?
