Looking across Westernport Bay near Phillip Island, not too far from Melbourne. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.

One of Bundanoon's more interesting buildings (see also PiPs), not for its architecture but for its history. Early on, it was a Post Office, later a grocery, then a tearoom. Finally, in 1949, it became a bicycle shop and laid claim to be the largest bicycle hire outlet in the Southern Hemisphere (people would come by train from Sydney for weekends and hire bicycles). In those days it even had a Penny Fathing bicycle (as in PiP1) mounted on the roof. And now? Well, unlikely as it may seem, the Bicycle Shoppe now houses a very good Thai restaurant! Best viewed large I feel. Happy Wall Wednesday, everyone.

When I saw this old FIAT tractor parked beside the road, it was an irresistible subject. The rain stopper on the vertical exhaust particularly appealed.

For Macro Mondays #347, 5 Feb 2024, "Digital letters" - from the stove display.

Shady benches facing the street in Leighton Park, Moss Vale. Happy Bench Monday, everyone, have a good week.

These flowers, I am fairly sure they're native to Austraia, were in the National Park near Bundanoon. They should be easily identified, but so far I've had no success. Looking for something with long tubular bases to the flowers with 4 petals, plus opposed leaves on the stems. There's also a little bug, but you will need to view large to see it. UPDATE Full points to Patrick Brandy (see below) who has come up with the ID for these. They are Pimelea liefolia , with the common name "Slender Rice Flower".

The Moss Vale Post Office is in the southern highlands of NSW. Not only does it feature the old letter box (see also my previous image), but there also is the old telephone box (I'm unsure if it still works) and a coffee shop off to the side. Most of all, there are fences - so Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and have a good weekend.

This rather stylish wall is on the Moss Vale Post Office, in the Southern Highlands of NSW. The letterbox is a bonus. :-) HWW and I hope everyone is having a good week.

The Lambertia formosa , common name " Mountain Devil" is native to the eastern parts of NSW. Notice the resident ? (more visible in the PiP)
