Back to earth

Being back in Sydney has certainly been a contrast to the past two weeks of travel.

A fortnight of sunny, dry days with 32c-34c temperatures has been replaced by 14c-16c and continual rain.

Two weeks ago today we flew into Broome, Western Australia. Whilst we were there we met up with Ye, a colleague from StV who is temporarily resident in Broome as chaperone for her young grandson who is filming a children's television series.

Ye took us on a drive around some of the scenic spots. The blue of the ocean and the red of the earth were stunning under the clear skies. The following photo taken at the point where a lighthouse is located is typical of the colour scape.



Being a keen cinemagoer, I was interested in the 'world's oldest picture gardens', an outdoor cinema which has operated since 1916.



Unfortunately, we were there in the heat of the day when the 'picture gardens' were not open for public touring. As you can see from the billboards, they do screen the latest releases.

  1. Welcome back Victor. When I recently returned from that part of the country I also took time to reacclimatise to the weather down south. It is a lovely part of the country, and a holiday that will stay with me for a long time. I hope it does with you too!

  2. So does this mean we are getting a second series of "The Circuit"?

    wb, by the way.

  3. That capture of the hardscape is stunning with the great contrasts in colors between the sky, water and land.
