Smiley Face

Office Choice began operation in 1993.
Two things amused me on their website.
They aim to make stationery "sexy"
AND
they sell toilet rolls.

Hydroterra

Strange looking contraption on this car parked at Balnarring.
Hydroterra is involved in gas, groundwater, soil and marine monitoring - to name a few services.
Perhaps that odd contraption on the car roof is for weather monitoring - also one of their services.

Cockatoos can be crazy characters.

is to hang and swing from tree branches.

Blue Ribbon Foundation

The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation was established in 1998 (merging several existing groups).
It perpetuates the memory of police killed in the line of duty.
There are 16 branches across Victoria, with the base at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
A branch on my Mornington Peninsula is quite new - established 2011.
It is at Frankston Heights.

Tavistock House

Somehow the signs on this lovely old building in Melbourne don't seem to fit, don't seem right.
Tavistock House Past Names : Norfolk Hotel (1866), Ship Inn Hotel (1836)
It used to be a Coffee Palace and is now heritage listed.
Tavistock House was built for John Tighe as a hotel circa 1850. The architect was Samuel Marlow.
The building was extensively altered and extended during the nineteenth century.
In 1906 it was renovated again, giving its present Edwardian Freestyle form with Art Nouveau detailing.
