Here's something you WON'T see in Sydney

Bathing boxes at Aspendale in Melbourne
...but then I have been missing from Sydney for a few days too. I took mum on a little 'nostalgia trip' to Melbourne, where she lived her first 40 years.

'Course you don't see trams in Sydney either, but these English-style bathing boxes are far more colourful than trams.

  2. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, but I'd rather be a Sydneysider.

  5. I like the way you told us about the nostalgia trip. I wish I could have done more of those for my mom. The photo is beautiful and makes me yearn for the beach.

  6. Hey! You taking over my territory!? NIce shot though Sally, I have posted a close shot previously, but am still planning to show the whole scene. My shots were at Brighton, not Aspendale. Well done. Tomorrow I will post the Opera House!

  7. Muj had a marvellous time. I took her to all the old haunts she and dad went to, houses they lived in, and places with memories (dad died a month ago). Also lunch with an old friend from the street we lived in. She had a terrific time. Thanks everyone.

    Michale - yeah, I'm a cheeky thing!

  9. Brilliant photo, I've always wanted to see them. Wonder how you got the title in colour, well done!

    I read your post in Bill's blog a few days back. I suppose your trip to Melbourne with your mum was of very special significance. All my sympathy to you both.
