Random thoughts and observations
I lived through 348 days of 1967, and although I don’t remember any of it, I’m sure it was a very good year.
I was born at the West Gippsland Hospital in Warragul and my parents lived just a few miles away towards Nilma.
Looking back on 1967 it seems to have been a break-out year, with post-war austerity largely forgotten, but Vietnam serving to threaten peace and prosperity.
There’s an excellent mixed use path between West Beach and Glenelg. The terrain is flat and the beach views are superb.
The path follows the coast from the River Torrens past the main swimming areas at West Beach and a caravan park to the Adelaide Sailing Club and beyond.
We rode to the edge of Glenelg this morning, with even Maggie managing the effort without any trouble.
Hallett Cove Conservation Park is a lovely day trip, just 25km south of Adelaide.
The park is a 126-acre reserve featuring cliff-top walks, rocky beaches and interesting geological formations.
Although surrounded by housing, it’s easy to forget you’re in suburbia. The park is like stepping back in time to experience the original landscape.
I’m puzzled why my big toenails grow faster than my other toenails.
It could be an illusion, but every couple of weeks I need to cut my big toenail, whereas my other toenails are happily subdued.
Maybe it’s because I can peel all of my nails except the big toenails.
The recently released Independent Media Inquiry report proposes a statutory watchdog and regulation of all media in Australia, including the internet.
There has been a lot of commentary around the proposed inclusion of news blogs and websites with more than 15,000 hits per year.
This site has that many hits per month, but from my reading of the report, it won’t be captured under the proposed regulations.
