A walk through Rookwood Cemetery.



A walk through Rookwood to get a photo for today's Photography Project365 Group.
I also clocked up a 5.29 km walk at the same time.

If you look at the previous photo you can see this nest where these two pipes cross.


We have a winner!






These places can cause one to reflect.

    We saw him fading day by day
 We watched him pass away
                  We nursed him with the tenderest care
   But could not make him stay.

Kiama Lighthouse

The vice-president of the Lighthouses of Australia
 organisation says painting the Centenary of Anzac logo
 on the Kiama Lighthouse could set a "dangerous precedent"
 for more than 360 lighthouses across Australia.

Berry Hotel was once called the Commercial Hotel.

Prior to 1889 a general store occupied this site after which
The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney purchased the land and
 later erected the present building.

This was built in 1896 for the Berry Estate by W. Coward. One section was built especially 
as a bakery and is still one today. The estate Agents office was once a produce
 store and Auctioneer’s premises, later it was occupied by the Bank of Australasia,

Might need a chainsaw.

This little piece of driftwood would have looked good in the garden.
