Theme Day

Manyana January 2012

Oh Man! do you know how many Waters Edge photos I have... 

Well this my friend isn't one of the better ones but it caught my eye this morning when going through the archives, I think mainly as I wish I was there at the moment and not preparing for the day ahead.

Happy Theme Day to you all as you enjoy your your journey around the world via City Daily Photo.

Dusky Moorhen

 I can't help to take photos of birds, this dusky moorhen was minding its own business on the water at Lake Parramatta.

Coffs Harbour 1

So with our unplanned stop over in Coffs we headed out on FOOT, to explore. 

We have driven through this town too many times to count and as we reach the sign post reading turn right for the jetty we turn left and head up a country road. So the first thing I wanted to see was the Jetty. It was worth the 12k walk as it included some of the best fish and chips too.

These guys and many more of their friends enjoyed the left overs of our lunch.

Now that I am out of Sydney I am in Marks territory so too see more of this area check out Clarence Valley Today Blog

Stockton NSW

I have been wanting to visit Stockton cemetery for a few years now, to visit my Paternal Grandmother. Sunday seemed like the perfect day as it would have been my late fathers birthday.

I know the Section and the grave number, but apart from the above map there are no other markings. 

As I walked around I asked Maud to send me a sign, you know like a willy wag tail or a swallow, but  I get an eagle. But he was no help to me either.

I have contacted the council but am still waiting a reply as I would like to be able to give Maud the recognition she deserves. 

See here on the right, this is new headstone that has been laid. If they could find their grave in this patch of lawn so can I. It also looks affordable.

If you look you can see it again just off centre.

This is the area I feel Maud may be.

Maud's daughter Mary erected a cross all those years
ago, I did wonder if maybe the timber cross did survive, but I doubt it.

Or she maybe here? Time will tell and hopefully next time I head to Stockton I will be able to lay flowers.
