July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| Day 7 Roadtrip Thru Northern Australia We are touring the Northern Australia Territory. One of the places we stopped was Anzac Hill. Anzac is a memorial dedicated to those who served Australia in wars to this date. The Australian Armed Forces have been there every time, WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, and others. The Japanese ran 97 aircraft raids on various targets in Australia including bombing Perth and Darwin during WWII. Anzac overlooks the outback and Alice Springs. In Tennant Creek, we viewed the airport. Aircraft and air services are important to Australia because of its vast land mass. The Australian Aerial Medical Service was formed March 27. 1928. Aircraft training and production have been on the continent since 1910. Each city you visit will have it’s airport. Another interesting place we stopped was to view the Karlu Karlu. The area has a large underground layer of granite rock. The large pebble shaped rocks are formed by erosion of the soil. In Port Augusta, we learned about the winds that are a normal part of Australia. They play a part in drying and eroding the soil because of the small amounts of rainfall experienced by the countryside. The long automobile rides are O.K. The highways are smooth and well maintained. I noticed as Blue Moon and I were walking up a divided walkway to the Anzac Memorial that people even walk on the left side of the walkways. Brother Nature has disguised Andre by dressing him in hiking clothing. Andre insists on following Princess Megan Rose around. He especially liked climbing the Red Karlu Karlu. He seems very well behaved during our stop there. Probably hasn’t had any Banana Daiquiri on the road trip. reference:.australia.gov.au ![Merit Badge in Blog Camping
