AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

just a small train...


two carriage train pulling in to the small Tyabb station...
Generally, we tend to say that there is no rail service on the peninsula...
What little rail track there is requires changing
from the main line at Frankston to the small Stony Point line....
It is just a single track serving a handful of stations on the eastern side of the peninsula...


perhaps small
but a vital connection
to city worlds

connectors...


a hubcap on a wheel of a car parked at Tyabb...
I was interested in this one because I have not seen those extra tear-drop shaped connectors on a hubcap before...
In the original photo they were yellow, so quite noticeable...


connectors
small and unpretentious but
vital

Tyabb Grain Store


So many signs for the Tyabb Grain Store at the Tyabb Art and Craft Village all clustered round the entrance.

To suffer?

These rather weathered signs appear at Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula.
They amused me, suggesting a tension of choice between wrecking or repairing your car.
Not sure that having both extreme options in the one place assures me that quality work will be done. Perhaps only for one option.

That is the question
To wreck or not to be wrecked
To suffer or not

Rattling Red's Makeover


An old train carriage - used to be known as a red rattler - has been converted to a dining experience at Tyabb Art and Craft Centre on the Mornington Peninsula.
The Rattling Red's Kiosk, as it was when I posted about it in 2009, is now Red Rattler Train Cafe with a slight cosmetic makeover.
The original black outdoor umbrellas have been changed to red and inside has more cafe orientated table presentations.

Red rattler magic
Older days rejuvenate
Fresh life and new eyes

Whimsical Door and Two Windows!


This windmill feature used to stand alongside a mini railway attraction at Tyabb Art and Craft Centre on the Mornington Peninsula.
The mini railway is no more.
But the windmill lives on.

A lonely windmill
Blind windows and nowhere door
Still so beautiful

Panelled Reflections


A window of a shop in the Tyabb Art and Craft Village on the Mornington Peninsula.
The reflection is strong in the top half of glass panels but not in the bottom ones!
The top half just captures the huge bear on the roof of another craft shop!

Quite odd reflection
Like pictures within pictures
Like a brain teaser
