Carrots have a Wild Cousin

QUEEN ANNE'S LACE

Queen Anne's Lace is often a feral weed in Australia and you can see it growing near the railways tracks near Hornsby station and Pretoria Parade. It's a relative of the carrot and is as much a herb as a weed. I suspect since its not a native plant some early colonist brought seeds over from the UK for a herb garden and like so many other plants it went wild.

The Burra Boys

Another shot of the Burra Boys.
Yes I think that is a lizard sticking out of the mouth of the younger smaller burra!
The Boys are being very co-operative with the camera this spring.
Maybe I can do a Burra Boys calendar next year?

Let me know if you would like to see one?

Look down at Your Feet!

Do you ever look down at the footpath? Obviously don't do this in rush hour but take the time if the footpath's not crowded to look at the cracks and crevisses and the contrast between the plants and pavement? sometimes you'll just see weeds. Other times maybe a moment of beauty?

Finding Centrelink Two

I have not been able to figure out how to get more than one photo in the post yet. I'm not used to this template yet.

If you can see the view on the left and just crossed a driveway look to your right.

Centerlink is in Randall house.You're there!

Finding Hornsby Centrelink

Finding Hornsby Centrelink.

I sometimes get asked by people where Hornsby Centrelink is.

So here's how to walk to it from the Station.
Exit on the left side. you will see a charity kiosk between a ramp leading to the overhead bridge on the right and a path leading to a pergola on the left.

Take the path to the left. You will see steps and a ramp leading down to the street.

Continue up the street to the traffic lights.

Cross over. Follow footpath. Ignore pedestrian crossing on left.

Cross Pound Road a short street curving downhill. Continue.

Now check the photo above.

Can you see a green and white sign in the distance?

You're getting close!

Two more photos in the next post!
