Canberra and Sydney Town

A couple of weeks ago we went to Sydney via the Canberra War Memorial.
I spent a whole day in the memorial as there was a special exhibition of WW1 Flanders Fields battles in France. My dad was there that particular year so it was of special interest to me.
I was intrigued to see how dated was the Harley Davidson Motor Cycle that my brother Cyril rode as a MP. WW2 this time though!

Sydney Town of course was wonderful and our number four son Paul spent a small fortune wining and dining us right on the harbour


Below is a photo taken in the late 60's of one of our visits to my late brother Murray's home at Bankstown


The land and position being so valuable the old house has been demolished and a mansion put in its place, as with most of the other houses in the street.

On the way home we stopped at Yass, off the freeway, and enjoyed a picnic lunch.
The Australian Magpies are also fond of picnic lunches.
I thought to myself, "What a delightful place to live"
But then, just like Heaven, where every seat will be a good one, you should count yourself most fortunate if you have a little spot in Australia
