Roses from my garden

One of my work mates is very keen on growing roses. One day I mentioned I grow roses in the garden bed in the balcony in the rented apartment. When I explained that I do nothing to maintain the two plants which produce red and pink roses the look on my friend’s face was priceless.

Sailing on Lake Ginninderra

Sailing on Lake Ginninderra

The Belconnen Town Council has been keen to get feedback from residents on how we can best use what we have in Belconnen. I’m keen to see more activity on Lake Ginninderra, like sailing, jet ski racing, remote control boating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing.

Summer has returned to Lake Ginninderra

Summer has returned. The last few weeks have been cold in Canberra with some mornings less than 10 °C. It’s one of the awful things about living at 600 m above sea level and about 300 km inland. It’s been cold and dry, just awful.

Going for a walk around Lake Ginninderra this morning was just great. Clear skies and so peaceful.

This is more of a test post. I’ve just installed a new plug in called Easy2MapPhotos The plug in allows me to add a map to each photograph I upload so you can see the location from where the photograph was shot.

Yerra Beach on Lake Ginninderra is in need of attention

I grew up in Brisbane and spent 12 formative years in Darwin. These are places near beaches. As a teenager and young adult much of my spare time was on the beach and in the surf.
