One I prepared earlier.


It's hard to imagine as one stands near the beach playgound at the moment, with it's seething masses of miniature people intent on getting every waking hour's worth of value from their holiday, that there were times barely two weeks ago, when there was not a soul in sight.

This is to remind us that they will all go home one day soon, and normal transmission will resume!

Former glory.


This was never one of those chain wire clad post and rail fences mentioned a few days ago.  This was the real deal, five rails of solid timber white washed as a grand statement, clearly defining the street boundary.

It's possible that not everyone sees it in such a noteworthy light these days.

In days of old.




In days of old, plants were not a high priority in garden landscape.   There was an adage that went "if you can't mow it, don't grow it".

Often a garden would consist of plants which had seen better days as pot plants indoors, and were simply stuck in the ground to see if they'd survive.

Super Six.




The roof sheeting contains asbestos sadly, because the profile, known as "super six" was a caricature of the standard corrugated iron pattern, exaggerated with a much larger corrugation.   It gave many buildings a quite distinct texture which will be lost as asbestos removal programmes make their steady way through the suburbs.

Star of Wonder!


If the wise men of old, the Magi, had followed this particular star they would have ended up sitting on Dicky Beach on that first Christmas, no doubt wondering where things went wrong, and how they had accidentally ended up in heaven.

Had that had actually occurred, no doubt a council officer would be on the spot in not time flat, issuing them a ticket for having unlicensed camels on the beach, just before some over enthusiastic immigration officer carted them off to a detention centre for illegal immigrants, and I can only begin to wonder  if that had happened what  Christmas Card motifs might have been.

Whatever your personal beliefs may be, I hope you you get a chance to reflect on the true message of the season and have a very Merry Christmas!

Last chance for a chook on Christmas Day.



It's not too late.

If you have forgotten that pretty much every shop in the country except for the Foodworks at Moffat Beach will be closed tomorrow, and you've forgotten to get anything in to eat, which by the way, possibly makes you the only person in the galaxy who hasn't been to the supermarket today judging by the cars that were out and about,  never fear!  You can get a hot chook, but it might pay to order yours now.

Ahh... for the benefit of my friends from other corners of the globe,   a "Chook" is what others might call a "chicken".   It goes without saying that these will be served hot, from a rotisserie, in one of those little foil bags with paper insulation, filled with dripping fatty goodness.

Time to get the wax on.




Many people will have started their holidays last weekend, the caravan park is starting to show signs of life already, but for many more today will be the last day of work before the "Christmas shutdown".

Most businesses will be closed now until at least the fourth, or even the eleventh of January, and with a fine and warm spell of weather forecast, we could expect bumper crowds at the beach.   I suspect there will be a shortage of second hand surfboards on these racks within a few short days.

Being there.

 If you were walking down Beerburrum Street you could be forgiven for thinking you were at the beach a block or two early.

There is one slight divergence from reality though.  The wreck of the Dicky has been removed from the beach "for preservation".   I suspect that preserving it in a painting such as this will in the end, bring its history to the attention of a good many passers by.

It makes me want to go and sit on the beach, and that's exactly what I think I'll do now.

Work In Progress.


There's a mural being painted on a garden wall a street or so from where I live, by Steven Bordonaro who has been responsible for a couple of other landmark pieces.

In a realistic style, it's a pretty fair rendition of our bay I have to say, so let this shot serve as a teaser for when I post a shot of it completed!

Fence


Once upon a time, all neighbourhood fences were made of chain-wire and stood no more than three feet (because we didn't have metric dimensions back then) high.   Most were simple post and rail timber with the wire simply stapled to the face of the rails, and they have all but disappeared with the ravages of sixy years of weather taking its toll.

Those with "more  money than sense" as my mother would describe them, spent a small fortune on fencing with a galvanised pipe frame.    Some of those still exist, not quite old enough to be cool, but almost.

Of simpler times.


After the "fibro" beach shack, came concrete blocks.  In the early sixties through the seventies a new form of minimalist architecture came into being.   It wasn't a deliberate movement, just a neat collection of standard modular building components.   The objective was to enclose space (and usually a minimal amount( by the cheapest possible means,.  With the benefit of fifty years of hindsight, perhaps there is some merit in the result.

This house though will soon be gone, its owners planning to replace it in the near future with something that provides a little more space for their growing family.

Rain Lilies


Our back yard is small and somewhat chaotic, but under the mess there is always a surprise lurking.  These zephyranthes for instance, are one of the few existing plants that were worth keeping, when we started to sort it all out a few years ago.

They've been largely ignored so have just sat like limp clumps of overgrown grass for years, but now that I've planted a few (hundred) plants around them, they get watered from time to time, and look what happens when they are happy!

Holiday illuminations.


I was walking through a little patch of forest near where I live at sunset yesterday with my youngest grandson.   He's only ten week's old, so I suspect that when I pointed out how the setting sun made the palm seeds glow orange above the understory canopy as though someone had strung a set of Christmas lights through the treetops, he didn't really get it.

So I took this photo to remind him in a year or two.

Neighbours.


There are three houses in this photograph if you count our verandah balustrade in the foreground.

I was just sitting there today eating a sandwich, thinking of not much at all other than the next barrow load of concrete that needed mixing when I realised that we probably have a fairly unique (some may say stupid) approach to living on narrow allotments.

Our street is an old subdivision from a time when 400 square metre lots with 10 metre frontages were the norm.  Strangely though, houses were not allowed to be built against the alignment.  No terrace houses here, instead we all live on our north-south axes, with the long walls exposed to the western sun for much of the day, and windows located so we can share in a quasi communal way, our neighbour's music (and dare I say it, arguments) and they ours.

Is it just as well we all get along, or do we get along because we must?

Sunset Barbecue




I know that I do whinge from time to time about the lack of infrastructure and services provided by council, but barbecue facilities are not on my hit list!

Free barbecues dot our parklands, kept immaculately clean by a team of workers with all the right equipment who materialise just after sunrise.

Mostly they aren't actually ON the beach, and this one wasn't either originally, but a few storms have claimed the lawn surrounding it.

What will become of them?


It was a stay at home kind of Sunday today, raining at first, odd jobs all day.

The zucchini's have seen better days, so got the chop.   Where will the little yellow lady beetles go now?   We tried to save as many as we could, but no doubt some are en route to land fill as we speak.

We never seem to worry about saving aphids.

Tip Jar Cuddles


Two photos in two months from the Hug a Mug Cafe would give the impression that we frequent the place, and by our own standards, I suppose we do.   We really aren't the "go out every afternoon" kind of people, so when we do we like places with great food and coffee and nice people!

Perhaps it was the distraction of taking photographs and talking about the "tip jars" that they didn't get a work-out on this occasion I'm afraid, so if you happen to be going past one day, perhaps you could do the honours on our behalf?

The one with the pink cheeks gets the most tips apparently, perhaps because she is the cutest,  or perhaps it's that most people are right-handed  and she is on the right?

What do the blue and white lines mean?

Why is it so important to have the diagonal running this way, and did the guy that painted the original ones the other way get fired, or was he just subjected to "workplace counselling"?

The temperature is already 35° in the shade. Those beautiful seats are not in the shade though, and will therefore soon be getting dangerously hot.

Why don't they make the urban designers sit on them, preferably naked, before telling us why no-one is using them?   There's nothing like a bit of user experience to challenge aesthetic perception.

If sitting in the shade of a tree on the grass is so fantastic, why do they build shelters instead of planting more trees?

(This is a rhetorical question by the way - the purpose of the shelters is obvious, so no correspondence on that one eh?)

Questions about Word Connections.


Why is the word "Diner" synonymous with Junk food, when a diner is someone who "dines"?

Why is it that one sees the word "diner" in a business name, one will find a shiny classic car nearby?

Why does plastic Nev have such a smug little smirk under that broad moustache?  Does he know what's in those pies and hot dogs?

IARKETSIN TH HALL TODAY




I arrived in Landsborough well before midday, just in time to take in the last hour or so of the Saturday market.

That was my mistake apparently, as by then despite all the signage to the contrary, packing up was well underway.  There'll be photos another time I'm sure!

The colours of summer


We are fond of telling all who will listen that we don't have seasons that are visible.  We may be a exaggerating a little though because if we care to open our eyes, there is a changing of the guard that occurs from sometime in September when the Jacaranda flower, throughout summer as each tree takes it's own time to make its mark.  

Sometimes the change is visible as the tree comes into flower, sometimes it's the colour of the new foliage, but there is a change.  Mostly though, it's a subtle thing, not at all like what is happening this park in Lanesborough!

Shop Window.

Until not long ago there was a butcher's shop in this very spot.   They'd been there forever, but clearly our teeny bit of custom wasn't enough to withstand the march of the supermarkets, and the owner retired, selling his property in the process.

The new owners kept the street awning to preserve just a little of the "old" building which was in poor condition, demolished the rest (there was nothing worth salvageable in the structure) and before long we will see a real estate agent ensconced where the mincer once stood.  

If the new shop is as tastefully detailed as the gallery next door it will be a fine addition to the rapidly gentrifying street scape of Moffat Beach, but for a few minutes we will lament the passing of another small piece of the old fabric of the town.

This is just one of dozens of photos posted today around the world interpreting the theme "Shop Window", for more please don't forget to check out the City Daily Photo Theme Day Gallery.

A Sign!


And so it begins.

Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that the Sunshine Coast Council actually acknowledges the coming "holiday" season by its proper name, but once again in a city, no, a REGION which relies on tourism for its principal income, surely this effort at street decoration could be described as paltry!

To be fair, there is a matching sign on the other side of the street, (which has a more generic wish, no doubt to appease those who would wince at the use of the word "Christmas" while happily buying their cards with snow-scenes on them....) .  Seriously, do two little flags in the main street of a major suburb send an adequate message that we are grateful for your tourism dollar and will do what we can to make your stay a joyous and festive one?

Thank goodness for the good will of the traders in town.

Merry Shopping under Christmas skies!

Cafe Venice



When new it would have been cheap, poorly fitted, unwelcoming perhaps and may have been marked as "a good try" as cafe fit outs go.   Now though, with a few year's of neglect and a bit of tatter about the place it all seems to work in an almost authentic sort of way.

And lunch for five dollars is about as good as it gets.

Great stuff!

Eclecticism

Genuine Victorian era cast iron lace sits happily beside Javanese "antiqued" carving in happy juxtaposition. The lace, no doubt scrounged from a building more ancient than any on the Sunshine Coast, is the face of a counter in a coffee shop.  

It's a covering of some genius I think.   Look closely, between the crazed paint and rusting panels, you'll see coffee spills streaking down the backing, taking the shiny newness off the plastic, making it look as though it's been there for ever.

I'm not sure what the Health Department think, but I don't care.

Over-exposed.


The building is called "Sea" which is what it overlooks at Maroochydore, as well as a six-lane feeder road, a busy intersection, a caravan park and countless other not quite fully developed or perhaps well-utilised would be a kinder description, pieces of urban infrastructure.

There's a certain etherial quality about this photo which is a little accidental.  Something to do with looking into the midday sun.  The camera's idea of squinting I think.

The passing of the breeze-way..



Sometimes I wonder how some things became synonymous with beach side living.   I "get" the concrete "breeze blocks" and the outdoor space which now would be called a patio or a deck,  but which back then was ever so much more descriptively a "breeze-way".  What a lovely term.  Let's do what we can to bring it back into common use!

What I don't get is the array of clam and bailer shells, well weathered and no doubt souvenired from a reef barely five or eight hundred kilometres from here, definitely not locally sourced.   I'm not suggesting anything illicit.  That was "what was done"  in the sixties, a time when the world would never run out of anything.

They were quite a common artefact back then, declaring in the way that signs made in China which proclaim things like "gone fishing" do today, that this house is at the beach.

Bike Hooks.


We don't actually get out a lot these days, but this was a rare moment between house and plant nursery.

The cafe is in Woombye (search this blog) and is notable among other things as it is one of, if not the only business in town that doesn't have the word "Woombye" in the business name.

It's the hooks that took my eye, (as well as the splendid coffee and perhaps even marginally more splendid genuine French lemon meringue tarts) - they are there to hang your bicycle out of the way of others.  No doubt they'd be particularly useful on that odd occasion when you are having trouble with the car and are in desperate need of a coffee or perhaps lunch.

It did occur to me that they would also serve as a convenient place to store unruly children in the unlikely event that one's quiet enjoyment of  the surrounds be put at risk of disruption.

We've come to buy ONE.




But it's so hard to decide, in the end I think we left with fifteen plants, thanks in no small part to Sue who continued to ply us with baby plants in all sorts of shades, at prices that seemed to become more reasonable even as our budget began to crumble!

When one is in a greenhouse that looks like this, one must hold one's wallet and one's resolve very very firmly.

The trouble is, collecting the things is quite addictive apparently.

By appointment only.


The sign on the internet said that visits to the nursery were by appointment only, but we hadn't noticed that and so we just turned up and were greeted as soon-to-be members of the bromeliad family.  

These things originate in the South American jungle, but they seem to exist quite happily in our own open, dry environment as the plants lining the paths to the greenhouses attest.

Bromeliads! (not pineapples)


Late at night while poking around the world wide web, looking for things to fill a small space in the garden,  I discovered a bromeliad nursery almost within shouting distance.

I know that it would have been quite easy to simply order online, but the lure of talking to a human being about these amazing plants was too great.   Normally we have a distinct preference for Australian native species, preferably ones that are appropriate to our region at that, but the prospect of planting something that will sit in the shade, mind it's own business and usually not die or even sulk if no-one pays attention to it proved too great, which is how we found ourselves at first light on the road to Bromeliads of Australia!

Bees on the buzz.


The backyard theme is going to continue for a time I'm afraid, partly because that's where I've been spending a lot of time of late.

I've been moving a couple of my bee hives much to the consternation of the residents within them, and they settle down in due course.  I have no fear of being stung though as these are tiny Australian native stingless bees Tetragonal carbonara (follow the link to a wikipedia outline).

As far as the photograph is concerned, I was trying to capture the depth and freneticism of the swarm, and discovered in the process it's not an easy thing to do!

Umbrella Fern




This is a strange photo if I do say so myself.  It's a very small bee (more on them tomorrow) behaving like a fly, slightly out of focus because it's moving so rapidly, but the real star of the shot is the little fern.  

To give some scale, the bee is no more than 4mm long (about 3/16"), the longest leaf on the plant about seven centimetres or three inches, but it's a baby and one that I'm quite excited about.

It's an umbrella fern, a native to the forests not far from here, with fronds that one day will grow to two or three feet and by then its height will be around four feet.    (Do I really need to do the metrics as well?)

The reason for my excitement is that I have a couple of them planted now, and I'm hovering over them in a way that only people who have planted new plants or have small babies will understand.  They are available for purchase now thanks to the efforts of a young floraculture expert who discovered a means of cultivating them.  If you are interested you can read the story here.

For the time being, until someone figures out the secret, I think this may very well be a genuine, Sunshine Coast exclusive product, currently exported internationally for use in the cut flower industry.

Window of dreams


The real estate agent's (realtor's) window is the same as any of its ilk from all over the world.  In fact that's the message this one is sending us in those little dark panels - it has a world-wide connection and therefore is extremely credible.   But before one get's excited about the prospect of living in say Madagascar, the only stock for sale seems to be within a few kilometres of here.

But we can dream.

Once was green


This little row of shops in Montville was once a ghastly mid-green.  Now it's being transformed into something a bit pink, or perhaps that's cream.

I think I like the bits where the painting is half done, where there's a semblance of weathered texture about the place.   Despite that, soon it will be back to a crispy well maintained example of its former self, in an ever so slightly more palatable colour!

Agapanthus


I don't really "get" Agapanthus plants. They thrive in sunlight and temperate climates, yet look as though they were meant to be when planted in sub-tropical gardens as well.

Camphor Cottage


A house repurposed as a coffee shop.  It was not common for external timber walls to be left in an unpainted state, or perhaps it was and there are few survivors.    Our climate is such that unpainted timber has no chance of survival unless as is the case here, it is protected by a very deep verandah overhang.

Sitting as we were, waiting for our coffee to arrive in the gardens of the Camphor Cottage in Montville.   I thought I'd try to capture the essence of the garden surrounding us.  It was by and large an unsuccessful exercise, this shot came close, shame about the chair doing its best to flick a pair of "rabbit ears" behind the tree.

Monsterio



The Monsterio Deliciosa if Blogger's stupid spell checker has allowed it to stay spelled correctly, is  native to the rain forests of southern Mexico.   It turns up in lots of places round here, particularly in gardens with a forest - feel.

Those giant leaves are the only ones in the plant kingdom with naturally occurring holes in them apparently.
