A personal diary about life in a country town,
Bungendore NSW Australia
Another Country Diary
After about a week of these diary entries,
they go to the
archive.
What I did in February '05
Venice!
Yes, that's why I haven't updated this diary. I've been travelling!
Good try? No? Yes, I have been driving a lot but mostly to and from
Sydney I'm sad to say, where this gondola is used as a water taxi.
The
wide shot gives it away, that's the Anzac bridge in Glebe. That's the
view out the back of Mark's flat which is our Sydney office.
At
summer's end however, there's some wonderful driving times. Still
daylight saving, long evening light. This is just out of Goulburn on the
Bungendore-Tarago road.
Flame
grapes. I bought them because they look good. It's February and we're
only just getting good grapes in the shops. They tease us with them from
early December but don't be tempted. They're never any good until much
later. Pretty though.
King Island
These
2kg tubs of King Island yoghurt cost $9 on the Island. And that's where
we were. I can't tell you just yet but it's to do with Regional Food
magazine. So, I've been travelling to King Island as well.
And to Melbourne. Three times.
Royal Hotel official opening
Jan and I were invited to the opening of the new bar and Harvest
restaurant at the Royal Hotel. Everyone was there as you can see.
We tried to get into the restaurant on a Sunday night but it was booked
and packed out. Good sign.
The
state of the pumpkin at the beginning of February. Basketball
size. I don't think I'm going to win.
Here's
one of the residents from the 'other side of the tracks' taking his dog
for a walk on his motorised scooter. There must be money over the
railway lane in Bungendore East. I've never been really aware of the
line as a demographic split, do they think of themselves as different to
us inner townies?
