THE SUBJECT: / A little piece of Aussie history leans against a post slowly rusting and rotting away to nothing. / It was photographed during a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club outing back in February 2006 and the last time I saw it, it had fallen to pieces. It seems the management does not take much care with exhibits like this as they are kept out in all weather and are unprotected from all the kids who come through the park during the holidays. It may well be that the management perceives such items to be very common but I think it’s a shame to treat them this way as one day they will be very, very rare. THE LOCATION: / The old wagon wheel is/was on display along the entrance pathway into Timbertown, an historic theme park at Wauchope, west of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

Many thanks to my friend Chris Clark for providing this bit of history of this building: The former Tolbooth Church, situated on Castlehill on the approaches to Edinburgh Castle, is now the administrative base for the Edinburgh International Festival and has been renamed as “The Hub”. The conversion was carried out by a local architectural firm, Benjamin Tindall, in the late 1990’s. The church dates from 1844 when it served as both a parish church and the annual meeting place for the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It was designed in the English Gothic style by James Gillespie Graham and Augustus Welby Pugin, who was responsible for the huge 240-foot spire which provides the highest point in the city centre. Pugin was Britain’s foremost propagandist of the Gothic revival and is best known for the exterior detailing of the Houses of Parliament at Westminster, London. / The main public area of the building, sited on the first floor, now houses the Hub’s function suite. The reminder of the complex provides a café / restaurant and an all-year-round Arts Centre for residents and visitors to the city.

As the third ‘Auspicious Symbol’ of Buddhism, the WHEEL (sanskrit-chakra) consists of three basic parts: the hub, the rim, and the spokes (8). Its underlying form is that of a circle, which is recognized across all traditions as a shape that is complete and perfect in itself, qualities which inform the teachings of the Buddha too. / Individually, the rim represents the elements of limitation, the hub is the axis of the world, and the eight spokes denote the Eightfold path set down by Buddha, which leads to the cessation of all suffering. / A further esoteric interpretation makes reference to the three trainings which form an integral part of Buddhist meditative practice, associating each of the three parts of the wheel with one such practice. / The symbolism is: / HUB-training in moral discipline. Through this practice the mind is supprted and stabilized. Thus it is the practice of moral discipline that upholds our meditation, just like supporting axis of the world. / SPOKES-stand for the correct application of wisdom, which cuts off ignorance and ends suffering. / RIM- denotes concentration, which holds the entire meditative practice together, just as the wheel of life is held together by its rim. / The wheel evolved as a symbol of the Buddha’s teachings and as an emblem of the Chakravartin or ‘wheel turner’, identifying the wheel as the Dharmachakra or ‘wheel of law’. The Tibetan term for Dharmachakra literally means “the wheel of transformation”. The wheels swift motion serves as an apt metaphor for the rapid spiritual change engendered by the teachings of Buddha. Hence, Buddha’s first discourse at the Deer Park in Sarnath is known as the first turning of the wheel of dharma. Likewise, his subsequent discourses at Rajgir and Shravasti are known as the second and third turnings of the wheel of dharma.

Looking from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade down Castlehill. In the center of the shot to the left is the Camera Obscura and to the right is The Hub. The Camera Obscura is a tourist atraction which (among other things) allows you see live moving images of Edinburgh projected onto a viewing table through a giant periscope from inside its Victorian rooftop chamber. The Hub (a former church originally known as the Victoria Hall), at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, is the home of the Edinburgh International Festival, and a central source of information on all the Edinburgh Festivals. Its gothic spire – the highest point in central Edinburgh – towers over the surrounding buildings, including the adjacent castle. The building was designed in collaboration by Edinburgh architect J Gillespie Graham, and the famous gothic revivalist Augustus Pugin, and constructed between 1842 and 1845.

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland is a green and pleasant place. Looking towards the Mound in the Old Town. On the left can be seen The Hub, at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Its gothic spire – the highest point in central Edinburgh – towers over the surrounding buildings, including the adjacent castle. In the centre of the shot are the stately towers of New College on The Mound. On the right, the cream buildings with red roofs are called Ramsay Garden. The Mound is an artificial hill which connects Edinburgh’s New Town and its Old Town. It was formed by the dumping of 1,501,000 cartloads of earth excavated from the draining of the Nor Loch – which today forms Princes Street Gardens and the foundations of Princes Street. The Mound was officially opened in 1781. When the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was extended to Waverley in 1846, tunnels were driven under The Mound to allow access to the west. Today The Mound is a busy, if fairly steep, thoroughfare taking traffic from Princes Street, over the Royal Mile and into the Old Town. Due to its raised elevation, the Mound commands expansive views over Princes Street and the New Town of Edinburgh and towards Calton Hill.

Water, the Hub of Life. / Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium. / Water is the most extraordinary substance! / Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building / material for its machinery. / Life is water dancing to the tune of solids. / – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi This was shot during rainy season in a river near Balarpur, Maharashtra in 2007. The water flows at full strearm mixed with golden sand.

The central stone is inscribed with names of the campaigns in which the Regiment took part and a central bronze plaque shows the insignia of George VI. The memorial was unveiled on 5th August 1952 by HRH Princess Mary, the Colonel in Chief. The final stone was unveiled on 9th of May 2007 by HRH Princess Ann to commemorate the end of the Regiment. Behind the Royal Scots memorial you can see the stately towers of New College on The Mound and to the right of this is The Hub, at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
