Stunning day in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. A visit to our favourite lighthouse, which now has a new access walkway with great views. Tacking Point was named by Matthew Flinders in 1802, on HMS Investigator. This lighthouse is one of five along the northern NSW coastline designed by noted colonial architect James Barnet. Tacking Point Lighthouse was built in 1879. It is looked after so well.

The current School of Arts is the third to be built in Laurieton. The first was blown down in a gale on 5 May 1898, while the second opened on 7 September 1898 and burned down on 30 August 1910. It is a heritage-listed School of Arts, now used as a community hall and neighbourhood centre, at the corner of Laurie and Bold Streets, Laurieton, Australia. It was designed by Sydney architect James H. Bolster and built from 1911 to 1912 by Taree contractor E. Bacon. The property is owned by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999… Wikipedia The building also hosts the Camden Haven Historical Museum.

Curry tree, in our garden. NSW, Australia. The Curry fruit grows on the evergreen curry tree, known throughout India by several different names such as karepaku, narasingha bishahari, and mitha neem. The tree is botanically known as Murraya koenigii and belongs to the Rutaceae, or citrus, family. The trees are most famous for their “curry leaves,” a common spice in Indian cuisine. Though not as commonly consumed, Curry berries are also edible. specialtyproduce.com/produce/Curry_Berries_13085.php
