This is a typical Australian clothes line, an icon known as the “Hills Hoist”. During the 1950’s, most homes had these installed during building. But now they are rare and hard to find.

This is another shot that I took on the 5th of May as part of the 24 hours of flickr. It is the shot of Australias own (or better my own, since it is in my backyard) Hills Hoist that was prominently featured at the 200 Olympics Opening Ceremony. / And now I have to learn that it was not even an Australian Invention: Taken from Wikipedia: / “The Hills Hoist is an Australian version of the rotary clothes line, the distinguishing feature of which is a crown and pinion winding mechanism invented by Adelaide based Lance Hill in 1945. This allows this clothesline to be lowered and raised. The rotary clothes line itself had been invented as early as 1855, diagrams of which were published in Scientific American that year. This style of clothes line was popularised in Australia by Lance Hill and is a common sight in Australian and New Zealand backyards. It is considered one of Australia’s most recognisable icons, and is used frequently by artists as a metaphor for suburbia in Australia. For many post-war baby boomers it is a symbol of their childhood and an Australian national icon. / It is widely (and incorrectly) believed by the public to be an Australian invention.However, other Australian and American precursors existed decades before it was produced in 1945 in the Adelaide suburb of Glenunga by Lance Hill.” Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog .

This is our youngest cat Odin, who we adopted after we found him in a car park at a supermarket. / My partner & I had just pulled into a shopping Mart to buy some lunch. I got out of the truck, to be greeted by this tiny little kitten wanting some food. / I have now had him for 2 years and he eats me out of my home….. / ##########. / I went to get the clothes off the clothes-line, and who should pop his head out of his bed but Odin. / I had washed it and placed it on the line to dry, but he just loves his bed so much, he couldn’t wait to get back into it. / I thought you might get a chuckle….. =================
