Australia Day is coming

Copyright Julie Vaux 2015 

Australia Day is coming soon! 
Don't forget 2 things 

1) You are Australian Born here or Migrated and a Citizen if ... well for one thing you know OZ doesn't just refer to the Frank Baum Books.
We do have cultural values ... respect the Aussie Battler give everyone migrant or native a fair go ... buy Australian ... learn to endure the Fire and Flood cycle ... distrust foreign authority .... patriotism shouldn't be over done or excessive but some days are Special... Australia Day Anzac Day November the 11th ... Asian New Year cos even if you're not Asian we all love our fusion Asian Aussie foods like the local version of Cantonese Custard Tarts etc or noodle dishes with Aussie seafood!

2) You don't have to go all the way into the city to see fireworks!

Check out what's on locally. Even if you don't want to join crowds it might turn out you can get a good view from your window ... and I'm hoping the @##$%$%@ D@59@s building doesnt block too much of my view of the West Pymble fireworks. 

finally that logo above is available ... yes here's the ad but hye support a local designer 100 % OZ items like tees and stickers can be purchased from 


Do visit please?

Xmas Lights

#hornsby #sydney #xmaslights 


in a tiny short street running parallel to the rail that dead ends in a pathway up to Pretoria Parade there is one home owner year after year turning his front yard into a Christmas fantasy.

Walk down and take a look. They were still up last night!

DOULOS DEN and Carols yet to come!

Hey people that racket about half an hour ago was an alarm going off in the Doulos building on the corner of Pacific Highway and Pretoria!

If you're in that area this evening Sunday 21 the Baptist Church on the opposite corner will be having its FREE sausage sizzle and carols concert 6pm onwards.

Finally a reminder if you have found any photos useful over this year well I do have a Paypal tipjar and an Amazon wish list? Thank you!

A stormy week

#sydney #hornsby #storms
Its been a week of storms and rain every evening but last nights storm front was bliss for photographers . This is just one shot from my mobile. Spare a thought and share an umbrella with anyone who has to walk home in this weather since there's forecast and if you have a house check  your roof for cracked tiles !
