Australia Day 2013 Hornsby Mall


Here are my favorites amongst the various photos I took last week.

Croc Tease. No he's not bored with his fans. If you touch a certain spot on the jaw they do this!

I don't know who this kid is but hey parents if my photo came out better email me and I'll send you a copy of this. Olivia the Olive Python made a lot of new friends and fans!

The RSL band performing beautifully as ever bringing music to the mall!

Happy Australia Day 2013

Whether you're celebrating today or Monday  I hope you have a great day and an special welcome to any NEW Citizens!

I took a few photos earlier today down at the mall but I need to tweak and trim them a bit!

Until then enjoy the following

1) the glorious variety of summer plums

one stall on Thursday had FOUR different types hmmm!

2) other summer fruits watermelons and mangoes are still in season along with grapes and lychees

3) you don't have to have a Barbie or lamb to make a meal special and Lamingtons and Pavlova are not the only Australian cuisine. Why not Google Damper and try making one at home this weekend?

4) swimming beware least everyone else tries to drive to the beach
if you don't mind it being a bit colder try going in the early evening now the southerly is coming through since from my vantage point south facing window on an upper storey there's no sign of the forecast storms and rain yet

5) by all means go bushwalking but please no cigarettes or fires of any kind and don't litter ! Yes its hot but you may have its cooler under the trees?

Have a great day anyway!
