"Yallingup Cave, explored in 1899 by Messrs Dawson, Curtis and Seymour, was opened to the public in 1900. Candles and lanterns illuminated the cave until 1903 when the first electrical system was installed."</blockquote>
Here's the story of this cave came out to be as originally knows as the Ngilgi Cave associated with rich Aboriginal legend: <a href="http://www.mybunbury.com/ngilgicave.html">A Journey Through the Inner Earth</a> as published by Bunbury, Western Australia website.<br />

"The cave is famous for its profusion of formations especially the beautiful shawls. Strange helictites abound growing on the roof, walls and even from other formations. The stalactites hanging on tight, and stalagmites which might even reach the roof, add their own special quality to the timelessness of the cave. Dainty straws give testimony to the stability of this cave system. They manage 25mm per 100 years growth rate.<br />
<br />
Another large section of the cave was discovered during the mid 1960's, part of this "wild cave" is used for guided adventure tours, enabling our guests to experience the thrills of caving.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq"><b>THE JENOLAN CAVES</b> were discovered in 1883 by James Whalan, a local farmer. Legend has it, that an escaped convict, James mcKeown, was also living in the sheltered valleys of the Jenolan region. No record of his capture has ever been found.<br />
<br />
The Whalan brothers, James and Charles acted as honorary guides until the Government appointed Jeremiah Wilson as the Official Keeper of the Caves in 1886.<br />
<br />
Known originally as the Fish River or Binda Caves, visitors would travel by train to Tarana Railway Station and here they were met by Wilson and brought by horse and buggy to the head of the valley. The last part of the journey was made by foot. Until the 1880's when the first accommodation was built visitors would camp in the Grand Arch.<br />

<b>Types of Formation:</b><br />
<br />
* Where droplets dry still clinging to the ceiling stalactites grow downwards."<br />
*. Where droplets fall to the floor and dry stalagmites grow upwards. <br />
* When Stalagmites and Stalactites join they form Columns.<br />
* Where droplets flow over a ledge or down the walls they form Canopies or Shawls.<br />
* Where drops collect in pools and evaporate they leave Pool Deposits.<br />
* Hollow crystalline tubes are called Straw Stalactites. Helictites are small irregular growths which seem to<br />
defy gravity. These "mysteries of the caves are seen at their best in the Temple of Baal.<br />

It is known as the Colour City due to its colourful spectacles of the season occuring at autumn time. Leaves of trees, shrubberies including those in the orchards, flower plants change colours from green to mesmerizing crayons of different shades. Once, it was named as "Big Apple Country", again due to its great apple orchard plantation. It has a highly rich volcanic soil owing to the presence of an extinct volcano, Mt Canobolas. The name Orange is a misnomer of course, for it was given in honour of the Prince of Orange in Holland. </b><br />

With our Economy plunging, market crashing and shoe business going down - you would never know what can come to a man's mind these days. <br />
<br />
The other day, as I was walking along the street, where I live, to our village shop; this unusual scenic sky view caught my interest enough to cause me to chuckle. I did not have my camera with me, so I thought, "okay, you got my attention." <br />
<br />
Today, as I went out passing the same street and going to the same place again, where I went to the other day, this unusual scenic sky view remains the same, except that there's another addition. Pulling my camera out of my bag, it was timely that the Qantas plane passed by too, so I took him a photo as well. Hence the title.<br />
<br />
If you feel like having the urge of shopping till you drop and you can afford going to the sky to buy a pair of shoes, consider my Shoe Store in the Sky. Qantas apparently is cutting its cost, so instead of delivering the freight to the store, he decided to drop the goods on the electric wires. <br />
<br />
Shopping anyone?<br />
<br />
Cheers! <br />

Taken inside a running car during our recent trip to South Australia with timing and hefty of inconvenience. At this vantage, we were already within the territory of the state, past Murray River, where the car was ferried across the border from Victoria.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This photo was taken at the junction of Murray River bordering the states of Victoria and South Australia.</div><br />
As you can see, the sky kept changing its mind whether it would stay sunny or gloomy. At the end of the journey, its heavy load of sorrow finally unleashed with inconsolable downpours for the entire duration of our stay but graced with few sunny moments breaking the doom now and then. It was more of Winter than Spring!<br />
Such is the mood of our season so far this year.<br />
<br />
Cheers! <br />

Near this club may be which is only a walking distance from where I live, but ironically, it was only yesterday that I finally was able to get inside the premise to meet up with friends whom I did not see in a long time. Here, we enjoyed a scrumptious Smorgasbord lunch together. <br />
<br />
Looking at the food gathered, untouched, unconsumed that went to the waste bin, I winced thinking of those who are suffering from hunger and starving to death without anything to eat, and here, no one was showing sign of concern that there is Recession. A place of Abundance and Waste indeed!<br />

The green empty space on top is the local Sports Oval, the hub of schools' and weekend community sports activities: Soccer, Cricket and Rugby.<br />

Our Weekend Memoirs by <a href="http://ourweekendmemoirs.blogspot.com/">Ebie and Company</a><br />
<br />
Just visiting one of the memory lanes somewhere in Orange, NSW. This brings me tears somehow I can't get away from being nostalgic. In contrast, we don't get snow down here in the city, being it is located along the coastal lines. I know that the view is different from those of you who live in the Antipodean pole, so just a kind of giving you an idea how we, downunderners, can also cope this weather. We are also a well-known whingers from the southern hemisphere who whinge about everything: from weather be it dismal or hot, to late train or bus service, to hosting Olympics Games (2000) or whatever change is taking place. When everything comes up beautifully - everyone then claims "I'm proud to be Australian." Does this ring familiar to your own country? If this is true, then we indeed belong to the United Nations. <br />

Okay in the point of order: Top is our former home - the frontyard. The snow blanket covers my garden.Middle picture is the street where this home is located. Bottom: is a portion of the large backyard, big enough to build a granny's flat. That's my little girls.<br />
<br />
We all rugged up like sausage rolls and went outside as early as 4 to 5o'clock in the morning to start the fun so we won't miss out. The whiteness of the surrounding makes it look as if it is broad daylight. Then our neighbours noticed what we were doing. So they followed suit. We did it because by the time the sun is up at 7am, all the snow melts. We have pretty strong and cancerous sun rays down here especially on Summer Days. Don't panic, we survive! It's different though up in the Snowy Highlands where the ski actions are!<br />

The biggest snow in Orange in my memory. The year was 1990 precisely in June 25th, the day my youngest girl was born. These last two pictures were taken in the vicinity of Orange Base Hospital Maternity Ward.<br />

Founded in 1994, the Ettamogah Pub house is a cartoon inspired architecture, located in the Old Windsor Road, Rouse Hill. It is a bar with a family restaurant and provides entertainment. Its ambience is relaxed, child-friendly and contemporary.<br />
<blockquote>Stepping into an Ettamogah pub can be like walking into a cartoon, with their precariously balanced and gravity-defying walls, and life-sized models. </blockquote><br />

<br />
An idyllic setting in a fast modern changing times. This piece of farm is located across my daughter's house, a picture that I surreptitiously took between the blinds behind the bedroom glass door. With the current expansion of the railway lines, and busy construction of the pedestrian pavement going on to which is now open for passersby to use, I hope this green area with animals stock will not get affected by. I did not even realise there is a creek (again) until I have uploaded the photos in my computer. So it's a bit of a cheery surprise for me.<br />

Glenfield causeway has been the most critical, undisputedly infamous and undoubtedly dangerous road and residents were clamoring the government to build this bridge.<br />

In chemistry, as an oil, Wintergreen is known as Methyl Salicylate. It is an essential oil useful for aromatherapy massage for joints and muscles. But not in this case. Winter Green is only my description of this particular countryside green view while boarding the train to the city. This is in Warwick Farm before Liverpool.<br />

I could not upload pictures direct here, so I went to my old files in photobucket and had been overwhelmed with so many, I pulled this out of the blue. To compensate my mistake, please find below a new Sydney Opera House taken last June 28, 2009, the day my daughter got married.

A long day trip to the Northeast and held by the red traffic light (Stop) I took my camera in haste and spied that reflection above from the glass window of a bus. The traffic loosened in the intersection of this road somewhere in Liverpool, and didn't expect the shadow to appear in this photo. So it's good!<br />
<br />
May you take time to reflect and ponder upon your shadow.<br />
<br />
Cheers! <br />

This post is bit untimely as we are into the winter, yet, these were taken long ago on a Summer Twilight over Parkway Avenue, Quakers Hill as soon as I alighted from the bus. This dreamy scenario of the northwestern sky held my breath and my eyes were transfixed into its blue and white strands of clouds as carefully brushed into the canvas by an artist. Then I heard some music played on the air - Nocturne by Chopin - of course, it was only my imagination playing.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
