lydiard uniting exterior

This is one of my favourite subjects the Lydiard Street Uniting Church. I have several external and internal shots on my Flickr account which you can access by clicking on the image name link under the image.

Koroit Primary School

One of the old schools (the common school is even older) that is still going strong. The school includes Eccles House and the former Court House. More images can be seen by clicking the link to my flickr photos under the image.

Koroit Borough Office

The former Shire Office in Koroit - they are now the library. I love the clouds in this - it was a funny day and overcast mainly but it seems the sun shines of local government.

Tower Hill Geology

The ash layers at tower hill (between Warrnambool and Koroit) are of international geological significance. My Mum is from a farm near Tower Hill but I never grow tired of this little volanco (perched maar).

Mosiac of my visit to Infant Jesus Koroit

My family has been going to this church for generations. I have had a couple of funerals in the past few weeks that inspired me to go back with the camera and take piccies. Now I just need to relate some of these to John Collins images.

Hepburn and Melbourne in one weekend

Last weekend I did a mini photographic odessy. Book launch at the Pavilion,


the Gervasoni ruins,





the Berry Consolidated mine



and then down to Melbourne to the Boroondara Cemetery


and skipping girl.





Growing up we used to index cemeteries with my Mum. I find them fascinating but Kew is my favourite by far for the quality of headstones. Tower Hill, Eganstown (Catholic) and Sandon are favourites for family connection and Franklinford for a fantastic setting.
