Hadn’t been here for around 10 years when I took this photo yesterday, the ship hasn’t moved an inch since i was here last. People can board the Castlemaine on weekends for a small price or during the week by appointment. HMAS Castlemaine (J244/M244/A248), named for the city of Castlemaine in Victoria, Australia, is a Bathurst class corvette of the Royal Australian Navy. Laid down by the Melbourne Harbour Trust at Williamstown in Victoria on 17 February 1941, launched on 7 August 1941 by the then Mrs. R. G. Menzies (wife of Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies) and commissioned at Melbourne on 17 June 1942. Castlemaine paid off to reserve on 14 December 1945 and was immobilised at HMAS Cerberus at Crib Point in Victoria as a training hulk for Engine Room Artificers, who ran the boilers in part providing steam heating throughout the base. In September 1973 the Minister for Defence announced that the Australian Government had made a gift of HMAS Castlemaine to the Maritime Trust of Australia to become a maritime museum. Castlemaine is presently berthed at Gem Pier, Williamstown, Victoria, adjacent to the historic Customs House. Colour selection was done in Lightroom and HDR in Photomatix

Out of respect to my Bubble mate Mel Brackstone , I’ve decided to upload my first landscape. Not something I really do as a passion or something I think I do very well but Mel is a gem and her work inspires me so here is my one (and most likely only) contribution to the subject of landscapes. / . / . / Vehicular works / Architecture / Transitional Industrial Utopian Series / Abstract / Beautiful Humans / Wearable Art / Cards For All Occasions / . / / . / You can also listen to PLV’s music / . / Please take a look at the wonderful work of / Jodi Webb / / / / /

Its 6am and I am supposed to be off to castlemain with my partner for the weekend today. Trouble is i got hardly any sleep as came home early from work with stomach problems. I swear, the pain was worse than when i gave birth to my kids. I am struggling to get dressed and pack my bag which is the easy part, but getting my pooch Ziggy ready and in the car is gonna be the hard bit. I was so looking forward to a relaxing weekend out in the countryside taking photos, Now i doubt it will be relaxing at all and poor Phil will have to put up with me being grumpy.

This is a compilation that I have put together to create an image to portray an area of Victoria Australia, which is known as the Golden Triangle the gold Nugget that is depicted here is called The Hand of Faith, which was 1 of the largest found near Wedderburn which is one of the points of the triangle. This area was known for the large number of Gold Nuggets that have been discovered there through the years since the Gold Rush days. / I also have this image in mind as a group image for a group idea that I am submitting to RB. I would probably call the group Gold Rush Towns. For images of the many gold mining towns in Australia and abroad and anything else relating to the Gold Rush era, including modern day theme parks of gold mining towns. Let me know what you think and if there is any interest in it.

The wall of the oldest continuously operating theatre in Australia reveals several interesting modes of construction. In continuous use since 1857, the Theatre Royal is located in Castlemaine, an historic town which figured prominently in the Victorian goldrush days of 1850 – 1870. In 1880 the nearby city of Bendigo – the centre of the 1850’s goldrush – was declared to be the ‘wealthiest city on earth’ during the 1880’s. Due to gold mining, Its worth eclipsed the wealth of cities like London and Paris. A city of great beauty and interest, today Bendigo is the second highest producing goldfield in Australia and remains the seventh largest in the world. See http://www.bwc.com.au/tourism/information/fast_facts.shtml for more information about Bendigo, Castlemaine and surrounds.
