Easter Island Statues In Sydney ? - Cockatoo Island - The HDR Series by Philip Johnson
BETTER VIEWED LARGER No not Easter Island Satues, these are beambenders left over from the islands ship building days , during WWII Cockatoo was the major ship repair point in the South Pacific. And at one time was the largest ship building and repair docks in the world, they built everything, but those were the days before international air travel. It is a haunting place and fascinating and is well worth attention from anyone visting Sydney , and it is a cheap day out Cockatoo Island is listed under the National Trust and has been returned tto the people not the developers ! It is now a very interesting tourist destination on Sydney Harbour, there is even camping on the island. The history of Cockatoo Island is emblematic of Australia’s history. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was undoubtedly used by the first Australians, the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney’s coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Sir George Gipps. Convicts were put to work building prison barracks, a military guardhouse and official residences. Not long after, the maritime history of Cockatoo Island began with the construction of the Fitzroy Dock by convicts. See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series For the next 50 years the island was both a place of incarceration and the site of the colony’s ship repair and shipbuilding activities. During the twentieth century maritime activity grew, notably during World War I and World War II. For a time, Cockatoo Island was the largest shipbuilding yard in Australia. When the shipyard closed in 1992, Cockatoo Island lay dormant for a decade until the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and given the responsibility of revitalising this significant site. The Trust is rehabilitating the island and creating one of the most unusual places to visit in the city.

A face in the Crowd by Robert O'Neill
Taken at a Science fair in Switzerland. We suddenly found ourselves in a ‘hall of mirrors’ and I took a couple of shots, while the students posed. The others in the photo were my students and the head teacher of the school. The mirrors reflect the many faces of the students-sometimes they were funny, sometimes they were intelligent sometimes they were pleasant—but sometimes they were nasty, backstabbing and untrustworthy. Quite complicated characters even as early teens. Shot with a Canon 400d

Dangerous Days by Robert O'Neill
Dangerous Days was the original name of the screenplay and film, Blade Runner. The lighting seemed reminiscent of the volumetric lights used in the movie. Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies of all time, and the book is another favourity, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Well, the answer is no! Apparently, they dream of Unicorns. Also:

Susan, a True Miracle Girl by TREVOR IRWIN
Saved from Death and worse than death, / Another soul to live! / Our Sister Susan, here, draws breath, / For you were kind to give. Poem® 19 Nov 2009, Dayonda Stribling / www.redbubble.com Photo ed’s note: This pic is deliberately darkened around Susan’s eyes to bring them out in all their beauty. Susan’s face has been electronically edited in the tradition of old-fashioned oil-paints-on-a-print enhancement. If you’re using a laptop and you can’t see Susan’s face, tip your screen toward you, that should do it. / __ When we first met Susan on a mission to a rural village in April 2007, she was in the later stages of death. Her body was infested with intestinal worms. Medicines would not work. I prayed for her in the village, along with two other mission volunteers. We left to continue our journey. But God spoke to me, and we returned that evening and put her in our old battered vehicle and brought her to our mission centre. We continued to pray and command death to leave her alone. 5 days later and God had completely healed her. Now as you see, Susan is completely healed. She shares her testimony with us on missions into other villages and many have also received healing and hope. Praise God! Please help us to continue to reach others in dire illness and need and extreme poverty.

Endangered by Steve Sass
The Merimbula Star-hair Astrotricha sp. Wallagaraugh is an inconspicuous small single or multistemmed shrub up to 1 metre tall (rarely up to 1.8 m) that is listed as Endangered under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The cream coloured flowers appear between October and December. It is known from only two locations – one in a forest near the Victorian border, the other just north of Merimbula within and adjacent to the residential suburb of Tura Beach, between Merimbula and Tathra on the NSW far south coast. This plant was photographed at Tura Beach, NSW with a Canon EOS1000D late November 2009. Steve is the Principal Ecologist at EnviroKey, a specialist ecological consultancy that undertakes surveys, research and education programs across Australia.
