'Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. '

Kurnell New South Wales

Australia

16th October 2011

 On April 29th, 1770, Captain James Cook landed for the first time on Australian soil at Inscription Point, on the Kurnell peninsula. His ship, the "Endeavour", remained anchored in Botany Bay for eight days. One of his crew, a Scotsman by the name of Forby Sutherland, died during this time of tuberculosis, and was buried on the shore. Sutherland Point is named in his honour, as is the municipality in which Kurnell lies, and the nearby suburb of Sutherland. Cape Solander is named after Swedish botanist Daniel Solander. The landing area, now within Botany Bay National Park, is commemorated as an important historic site as well as being a popular tourist attraction.

““Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.””

(more photo's from our

Sydney Harbour Bridge walk)

Exiting the southern side, takes you

to the Rocks

The Rocks is one of Sydney's most historic areas, a favourite of tourists and locals alike. As the oldest area of Sydney, The Rocks features a wonderful mix of past and present.

The Rocks was the first European settlement in Australia, established by Captain Arthur Phillip of England in 1788. Originally settled as a penal colony, convicts were tasked with the job of erecting government buildings and housing for officials. These original buildings were built using hand-made bricks or blocks of local sandstone - hence the name "The Rocks."

pretty Bottlebrush plants

in our garden

(on a rainy Sunday)

(Bottlebrushes (Callistemon spp.) are among the hardiest of Australian native plants. They are long lived, require minimal maintenance and are almost impossible to kill. The flowers attract native birds, especially honey eaters, and reward the gardener with extraordinary amounts of colour. The original bottlebrushes available to gardeners were all bold red but flower colours now range from red to pink, mauve, cream and green. )
