Sunday night in Paradise and a bit of history

I tried to take a photo before sunrise today...not very good I am afraid...but I did like the color!
And a quick trip over to Mt Ommaney...I stopped on the way home to take these photos...of a fairly sizable land slippage beside the Centenary Highway bridge..someone has lost the bottom half of their yard into the river there!

It looks a little like their jetty may be ok?


The other day I had occasion to go past the Archerfield aerodrome...

so I stopped there also to take photos...of the old aircraft hangars...I wonder were these old buildings there when Dad (Poppa) worked there during the war?


I am afraid this bus "Brisbane Aero Engineering" doesn't inspire much confidence in me..!


Perhaps it has been superseded by this place...


I also stopped on the banks of the river at seventeen mile rocks...
where Mum and I had a couple of lunchtime picnics....

wonder if this is the seventeen mile rock....

one of the remaining old properties on the Sinnamon estate there....



Gosh...it has side windows like the ones we had in Toowoomba on our old house....


and a chimney too....

the old barn has finally fallen down....


the old church....

and so we leave the history lesson for tonight...come back again next week, maybe!

Fantastic pictures! I love the architecture in those last several shots. The flower is gorgeous as well.

It is fascinating to see and read about your world. Thanks for sharing it.

I love the trim on that old estate house. It's always nice to revisit places we haven't been in years, especially when they hold memories of loved ones. Thanks for the tour.
