Easter Island Statues In Sydney ? - Cockatoo Island - The HDR Series by Philip Johnson
BETTER VIEWED LARGER No not Easter Island Satues, these are beambenders left over from the islands ship building days , during WWII Cockatoo was the major ship repair point in the South Pacific. And at one time was the largest ship building and repair docks in the world, they built everything, but those were the days before international air travel. It is a haunting place and fascinating and is well worth attention from anyone visting Sydney , and it is a cheap day out Cockatoo Island is listed under the National Trust and has been returned tto the people not the developers ! It is now a very interesting tourist destination on Sydney Harbour, there is even camping on the island. The history of Cockatoo Island is emblematic of Australia’s history. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was undoubtedly used by the first Australians, the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney’s coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Sir George Gipps. Convicts were put to work building prison barracks, a military guardhouse and official residences. Not long after, the maritime history of Cockatoo Island began with the construction of the Fitzroy Dock by convicts. See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series For the next 50 years the island was both a place of incarceration and the site of the colony’s ship repair and shipbuilding activities. During the twentieth century maritime activity grew, notably during World War I and World War II. For a time, Cockatoo Island was the largest shipbuilding yard in Australia. When the shipyard closed in 1992, Cockatoo Island lay dormant for a decade until the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and given the responsibility of revitalising this significant site. The Trust is rehabilitating the island and creating one of the most unusual places to visit in the city.

WARTHOG Phacochoerus aethiopicus by mags
WARTHOG – Phacochoerus aethiopicus / LOCATION CAPTURED: GROENLAND GAME LODGE, Limpopo Province, South Africa. SHOULDER HEIGHT: 72cm / MASS: 68-72kg / GESTATION: 160 – 170 days; average litter 3-4 piglets The warthog is a gregarious, diurnal animal that lives in abandoned aardvark holes. / It enters its hole backwards, a protective measure which enables it to make a quick escape. The male has two pairs of warts. The pair on the muzzle is absent in the female. The warthog is fond of wallowing and rubbing its mud-covered body on stumps, rocks and tree trunks. Its habit of rooting for grass rhizomes often leads to the creation of a wallow. Sight is poor although it has good scent and hearing. / When approached a warthog will often advance towards you, running off only when certain what you are. / It falls prey to lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. / DIWET: Grass, roots, bulbs and tubers. Will eat fruit, although it favors short grass. It feeds by resting on its front knees. Requires water daily.

A face in the Crowd by Robert O'Neill
Taken at a Science fair in Switzerland. We suddenly found ourselves in a ‘hall of mirrors’ and I took a couple of shots, while the students posed. The others in the photo were my students and the head teacher of the school. The mirrors reflect the many faces of the students-sometimes they were funny, sometimes they were intelligent sometimes they were pleasant—but sometimes they were nasty, backstabbing and untrustworthy. Quite complicated characters even as early teens. Shot with a Canon 400d

Bridge to No Where by niggle
The famous ” Bridge to No Where” in the Whanganui National Park New Zealand, Built in the early 1950s, a road was put in and bridge built to open up land to be cleared for return servicemen, land was allocated, and men worked hard to break in the land, but the land won with alot of the men walking away from their allocated farms, the country was too hard. The road slowly disappeared back into bush, but the bridge still remains, mainly accessed from the Whanganui River.
