Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery View overlooking the Mangroves on the way to “Grassy Hill Lookout”, Cooktown, Far North Queensland, Australia. To Read More – Visit: Cape_York_Adventure_-_2008 Sets of Two / Another_View_on_way_to_Grassy_Hill_Lookour Cooktown Cooktown has over two centuries of rich history. It was the site of the first white ‘settlement’ in Australia when Captain James Cook, having accidentally struck the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast north of Cape Tribulation, struggled up the coast and beached the HMS Endeavour on the shores of the Endeavour River. Cook and his crew were to stay on the edge of the Endeavour River from 17 June to 4 August, 1770, the longest time they were to spend at any location in Australia. Grassy Hill Lookout Captain Cook climbed “Grassy Hill Lookout” on several occasions to view the surrounding reefs, allowing him to navigate a safe passage out after repairing his ship. In 1885, a lighthouse was erected after being built and shipped from England. This became an automated lighthouse in 1927. It also served as a base for a radar station in World War II. I highly recommend a visit to “Grassy Hill Lookout” with its 360 degree views of Cooktown, Hopevale and the Coral Sea. 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “View to Mangroves – Cooktown” will be donated to “thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk” for the Cancer Council.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Lighthouse – Grassy Hill, Cooktown, Far North Queensland. 100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of “Lighthouse – Grassy Hill” will be donated to “thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk” for the Cancer Council. Please check out Michael Mitchell’s website thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk In July 1770 Captain Cook`s journal documents “Grassy Hill” as the site on which he stood to survey the ocean for a passage between the reefs for his ship. In 1886 a lighthouse marking the safe passage to the port was erected on this spot, with a lighthouse keeper`s cottage attached. The lighthouse lantern was prefabricated and arrived on board the New Guinea via Batavia in 1885. / It was initially manned and lit by kerosene. The lighthouse keeper also maintained a signal staff to announce the arrival of shipping and to signal the noon hour to the town by dropping a time ball. The original light source and associated equipment were replaced when the operation of the lighthouse was changed from manned to automatic in 1927. / The cottage and signal staff may have been removed at this time. During the period of the Palmer gold rush the lighthouse became a significant landmark for the shipping which made Cooktown a bustling and prosperous commercial port. In 1913 a radio station, VIC was erected on a spur of the hill to permit radio contact with shipping, superseding the flag and the lithograph previously used. During 1942-45 a radar station flanked by defensive installations was erected on the hill, but was dismantled and removed after the war. In 1970 a sandstone cairn was placed on the crest to commemorate the bi-centenary of Cook`s survey. / / The lighthouse is approximately 6m high, set on a concrete base and constructed of corrugated iron on a timber frame. It is conical in form, tapering to a balcony supported on timber brackets. Above the balcony the structure becomes cylindrical in shape and is capped with a hemispherical dome. Small rectangular windows are let into the conical section. It has standard lantern and beam projection apparatus. The light source is now an open flame acetylene gas burner.

“Blossoming with Age” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sitting at the foot of the rainforest covered Great Dividing / Range in far north tropical Queensland is the small / rural town of Kennedy well known for its sugarcane and / banana farming. Some of these farms have stayed in a / family for well over a century (a long time in this area’s / short settlement history) and the buildings and farming / machinery left in paddocks attest to their age. / Having to stop my car at a dead end of a dirt track, I / spotted this treasured farm hand in a far off field. Not / wanting to disturb the grazing cattle nearby nor the ire of / the farmer by trespassing on his property, I shot this / photo from my car. As I gazed on the old beast I thought / how completely peaceful and restful it looked in its bed / of blossoming flowers and canopy of tin, free to while / away its aging years at one with nature. “Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom.” / ~ Plato

“Sunbird” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © I am blessed to enjoy the visits of a friendly little sunbird / that flutters up against my kitchen window early in the / mornings. Flies and gnats that have gathered there are / quickly devoured giving him strength for the coming day. / Tiny wings beat so fast they appear to be just a blur of / movement through the windows glass pane. / He suddenly disappears….. just as quickly as he / appeared, he departs, onto his next serving of breakfast. / I was lucky enough to capture this little fellow in a friend’s / garden. Although not ‘my’ wee sunbird, he was just as / charming and very considerate to sit still long enough / for me to get this shot. “If I keep a green bough in my heart, / the singing bird will come.” / ~ Chinese Proverb
