GOVERNMENT MINISTRY OFFICES
During a nuclear emergency, the War Cabinet would depend on government ministries located here for information and to issue directives.
Rows of small offices would have housed compact departments. Ministries that would have occupied huge office buildings with thousands of workers in peacetime were distilled to small teams in a handful of rooms. Their job here would have been to collect, analyze, and assess information coming in. They would then brief Cabinet and, if so tasked, devise courses of action to address problems. Then do it again.
Some of the departments might seem surprising- Canada Mortgage and Housing, for example. But during an emergency, knowing what the housing situation was in various regions would have been an essential service. And during reconstruction, records of ownership would be important.
“…why Central Mortgage and Housing? Because we're not really concerned with the mortgages at this time...but we are concerned with where the housing is. And they know it, where the housing is. So all these government departments have a role, and they would perform that role here."

Another awsome Sport Compact event at WSID.Loads of cars made the trek from all over Aus to compete.Almost capacity entries on the track & a great selection of hot cars on show.
The presentation standard of Sport Compact drag cars has really amazed me so far this year, with a lot of the top runner track cars looking like prestine show cars with candy pearl paint jobs,tastefull air brushing and graffix and tuff drag spec rims all round. these guys have definatly stepped it up a notch!
Took a whole lot of photo's throughout the day, but unfortunatly forgot my memory backup so was limited to 4G worth of space...Ahhhrr.
Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Jan gave us a CD of rainforest recordings, which has actually done what it was supposed to! It's put us to sleep for more than a couple of nights! Fantastic!
These are the last of the CD and water drop photos I took a couple weeks ago. I have been busy editing some of my Smoky Mountain and Zoo shots lately and forgot about these. Enjoy!!!!

We gave our competitors three minutes to find Chewie, Luke, Leia, and Han in a room full of garbage before the trash compactor got them.
