Airplane doodles on my Galaxy Note II phone. I always planned on using my phone to draw more but it only seems to happen while flying, and that's not very often. I started the ogre the last time I flew to New Mexico over new years. I just finished him up a little more. I did the girl during my two hour flight home today. Someday I'll do more drawing. Maybe if I get the Note 3.

Poofy skirt! Gorgeous outfit by Amy Lilley :). I feel bad because Ceres doesn't get as much face time as the others, but I love her all the same. It's about time she got some new clothes <3.
I'm happy to say I that I successfully switched classes from the crazy lady to the smart guy. What she took four weeks confusing me with, he clarified in five to ten minutes, leaving me time to even doodle if I wanted to.
Yup. I think my grade is about to get much higher, even if the homework load goes up.

(Continuing my streak of nerdiness with the reference in this note... I think I might be officially in love with anybody who knows where it's from.)
This is probably why I did so miserably in inorganic chemistry first year in college. These were the sort of notes I took in class. :) It's funny because my young nephew said today that he might consider Chemical Engineering. Cool for him! But the two words put together made me shudder...

This is a scan of a pic I took in 1982. I believe this is the inside of GP38 numbered SP 6538. Here is the pic of the outside of the locomotive. I'm pretty sure that's the one. I took the picture 25 years ago so I can't claim any precision on the information!
I have only seen the first Death Note movie, but really liked it and look forward to seeing the others :)

The Mossman River in Nth QLD was named by explorer Dalrymple in 1873 after Hugh Mosman. Note the spelling change! He was a white cattle station man whose Aboriginal servant Jupiter Mosman discovered gold at Charters Towers in late 1871. Jupiter Mosman, Hugh Mosman (his father started Mosman farm in Sydney), James Fraser and George Clarke registered the first find. Jupiter Mosman discovered a nugget of gold on Towers Hill. The mining site and town was named after the QLD Gold Commissioner Mr W. Charters. Jupiter Mosman died in 1945. His employer Hugh Mosman fared well from gold and left a big legacy to his descendants. The main street of Charters Towers is called Mosman Street. Jupiter was born in 1861. In the late 1860s he was taken to Hugh Mosman’s station in the west. He took on Hugh Mosman’s surname and worked as his servant. Jupiter was sent to school and christened a Catholic with the of name Jupiter. Hugh Mosman and his white companions made a fortune from gold mining in Charters Towers. Hugh’s company was the North Australian Mine and later he added the Victoria Gold Mining Company. He also owned the Rise and Shine ore crushing mill. When Hugh Mosman left Charters Towers in 1891 Jupiter went too and worked for Hugh’s brother Archie droving cattle. A large boomerang shaped monument was erected in 1997 to the memory of Jupiter Mosman in Lissner Park with its picturesque rotunda. Before his death locals petitioned the Queensland government to allow Jupiter Mosman to be cared for in a local nursing home because Aboriginals were not allowed to be cared for with white Queenslanders at that time. Archie Mosman, the brother of Hugh Mosman inherited much of the fortune that Hugh had amassed from gold at Charters Towers. Hugh never married. Archie had children with an Aboriginal woman. In Hugh Mosman’s will valued at £70,000 in 1909, Archie was left a life time’s right to a sixth of Hugh’s estate. It was not until 1977 that Archie’s Aboriginal descendants were granted their entitlement to their white father’s estate by a Queensland Court! Unfairly Jupiter received nothing from Hugh Mosman’s will.
A gold rush to Charters Towers began in 1872 and was extended by the discovery of the Day Dawn reef in 1879 and the Brilliant reef in 1889. The arrival of the railway from Townsville in 1882 helped bring investors and capital to the gold mining companies of Charters Towers. In the 1870s Charters Towers had a population of about 30,000 people and was the largest city outside of Brisbane. So much money flowed through the town that it was colloquially called “The World”. In 1886 miners took the city to the world - at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. They set up a display of mining and ore crushing and they accepted £1 shares in various mining companies that operated in the town. It was a great success. One company is an example- Day Dawn Block and Wyndham- they received almost £500,000 in paid up shares to finance their future mining work! This exhibition put Charters Towers on the world map and was the first time London investors invested directly in Australian mines rather than through a London based share broking company or finance company. Some of the companies were duds but most were not. Charters Towers Stock Exchange gave British investors the chance to invest directly in the gold mines. The boom of the 1880s built offices, shops and the Stock Exchange. Between 1891 and 1896 the gold mines at Charters Towers were the most productive mine in the Australian colonies .But in 1896 many miners rode off to WA goldfields in search of more gold and the town stumbled in its growth. But a peak year for Charters Towers was 1899 when it got one third of all its gold from cyaniding the discarded dumps. Although mining by companies ceased in 1917 a few miners worked the old mines and overburden dumps during the Great Depression.
The first Post Office opened in 1871 and Charters Towers became a municipality in 1877 with its first mayor. The historic Venus Battery to crush and extract gold was established in 1872 and operated until 1971 when it became a museum which is now closed. Gold mining ceased in 1917 but the city survived and thrived. Its population dropped from 22,000 in 1901 to less than 6,000 in 1921. Between 1871 and 1917 over 200 tonnes of gold was extracted from Towers Hill. The gold ore was especially rich and produced 50% more gold from its ores than what the Victorians got from their ores and 75% more than what the Western Australian goldfields of the 19th century got from their ores. Charters Towers today has around 30 heritage listed buildings and it has a thriving tourism industry and beef industry and around 8,000 inhabitants. Since 2006 Citigold Company has recommenced gold mining outside of the town.
Lissner Park and nearby Thornburgh House 55 King Street. Lissner Park contains a small and a large band stand. It was proclaimed a reserve in 1883 named Lissner Park in 1888 after Isidor Lissner, a Charters Towers businessman and state politician. Lissner was also a supporter of the North Queensland Separation Movement. In 1889 a town architect William Smith junior designed an octagonal band stand with a 48ft diameter platform. Then during the Boer War of 1899 a public subscription fund had money donated to it to assist families in need whilst their men were at war. After the Boer war some funds remained and in 1910 they were used to create an elongated, unusual band stand which contained a memorial to the Boer War soldiers. The corrugated iron roof was supported by ornamental iron pillars and provision was made in the design for curtains to be let down to protect the band if heavy rain fell. It is still a popular town park. Also in the park is a more recent memorial erected in 1995 to the Aboriginal boy who first found gold at Charters Towers Jupiter Mosman. The memorial is topped with a large ornamental boomerang. Nearby is Thornburgh House a two storey brick villa built in 1890 for a successful gold miner Edmund Thornburgh Plant. It was known as the handsomest house in the North, not just in Charters Towers. In 1918 it was purchased by and Methodist minister and opened in 1919 as a Methodist boys boarding school. The first headmaster came from Prince Alfred College Adelaide. In 1920 Blackheath Girls College opened in another grand house of Charters Towers. In 1932 it became a Methodist and Presbyterian College and in 1978 the boys and girls colleges amalgamated.
Some historic buildings of Charters Towers. 36 Mosman Street. Former Bartlam’s Store now the Zara Clark Museum. The Zara Clark Museum is a National Trust property which opened in 1978 and a small admission fee is required - $5 concession. The first part of the building was built in 1891 by Burns Philp & Co. The second part was constructed by Wright Heaton & Co. in 1901. The two classical style shops merged into Bartlam’s store in 1944. Bartlem’s went into liquidation in 1976 with the Trust acquiring the property in 1978. The buildings were only purchased by the Trust because of a major bequest by Zara Clark the daughter of a former gold miner. The museum covers many aspects of Charters Tower’s history.
72 Mosman Street. Former Queensland National Bank now the City Hall. Opposite it is Gill Street. This grand classical masterpiece was built in 1891 for the Queensland National Bank. It closed as a bank in 1949 and is now the City Hall. Note the roof line balustrade, repeated on the upper veranda and ground floor veranda. Double Corinthian columns support the roof line and the symmetry of the façade is broken up by the central entrance and small triangular pediment above the entrance to the veranda. Note the cast iron gate which gives access to the ground floor.
76 Mosman Street. Stock Exchange Arcade. This structure was built in 1888 and the arched awning over the foot path and classical pilasters against the façade are almost identical to a similar building in Ballarat – another gold town. It began as a gold assay house only becoming a Stock Exchange in 1890. Inside is a tessellated floor and a glass ceiling and a variety of shops and displays. With open ends the breezes can flow through the arcade. It is controlled by the National Trust now and closes at 2 pm each day. The Stock Exchange closed in 1916 as most mines were about to close down. Entry is free. At the rear is an art gallery space in the old gold assay rooms.
86 Mosman St. The former Australian Bank of Commerce. This classical building in the Greek style with Doric and Corinthian columns and a large triangular pediment on the projecting central portico is a dominant feature of the street. It was built in 1891 as the Australian Joint Stock Bank. The tender for its construction was £4,693. The architect was Francis Stanley. By 1892 the Australian Joint Stock Bank had 19 branches in QLD. The Australian Bank of Commerce took it over in 1910 which later became the Bank of NSW in 1931. It is now the World Theatre cinema complex. It should be open between 10 am and 1 pm on Fridays. Check out the foyer.
90 Mosman Street. Former jewellery store. This quaint little jewellery shop was built in 1897 and is typical of stores built around Australia at that time with their small parapet. It is heritage listed mainly because it is attached to the Stock Exchange Arcade. Most recently it was a barbers shop.
152 Mosman Street. St Pauls Playhouse. Formerly St Pauls Church. This well-proportioned and attractive Carpenter Gothic Anglican Church has a long history. It was designed by Townsville architect William Smith junior in 1883 when he won a public design competition. The church opened late in 1883 by the Anglican Bishop of North Queensland. A modern Anglican Church opened elsewhere in Charters Towers in 1965 and this wooden church became a theatre in 1969.
16 Gill Street. D. S & Co Building now Kmart. This red brick two storey commercial building was built in 1909 for Daking Smith and Company. The building ends have open column cupolas and the façade is dominated by the large half rounded window with some coloured glass in it. The unusual veranda to the footpath is still used for eye catching advertising. It later became a Fosseys Store and most recently it was a Target Store.
17 Gill Street. Charters Towers Post Office. A postal service began in 1871 and the first Post Office built in 1879. The current impressive Victorian neo-classical style Post Office was completed in 1892. The five storey clock tower was added in 1898 and some additions were made early in the 20th century. The ground floor was the post and telegraph offices and upstairs was accommodation for the Post Master. It has a double storey veranda with arches and a colonnade on the ground floor. Verandas were need for protection from the sun. The upper floor has cast iron lacework and a balustrade, the building is adorned with numerous small triangular pediments.
34 Gill Street. Former Bank of New South Wales. Wherry House. This beautiful two storey Bank of New South Wales with arched veranda, balustrade, central triangular pediment above the entrance was built in 1889. It is similar in style to the former Queensland National Bank in Mosman Street which is now the City Hall. The expansion of the Bank of NSW into QLD was spearheaded by one of its directors Robert Towns of Townsville in 1864. The architects were William Monroe from Townsville and Walter Eyre of Charters Towers. The bank cost over £6,000 to build. The Bank of NSW left the building in 1970 and the City Council took it over in 1984. It was renamed Wherry House in 2006 to honour a previous mayor of Charters Towers.
41 Gill St. Former Bank. 1886. This single storey former bank in the classical style was one of five banks in Gill Street in the late 19th century. The Gill Street frontage is modernised but the 19th century façade is still there on the side street with its three pairs of rounded windows, balustrade along the roof line and the shell shaped Greek acroterions on the corners of the building and on top of the pilasters (flat pillars). 51 Gill Street. The Police Station. It was also known as the Police Barracks. This is a fine Edwardian style building erected in 1910 with lots of wood work and wooden pillars. The veranda balustrade complements the picket fence etc. It exemplifies many Arts and Crafts features with a red brick ground floor and a stucco upper floor. The wide eaves and window shades are a concession to the hot dry tropics climate of Charters Towers. 75 Gill Street. The Northern Miner Newspaper Offices. James Reid established the northern Miner newspaper just 8 months after the gold rush began. The property in Gill Street was purchased in 1878 and the fine offices were built not long after that. Of the five original newspapers in Charters Towers the Northern Miner was the only one to survive after the gold mine closures. The Northern Miner stopped publication in 2019.Twelve decorated pilasters line the façade and three pediments adorn the roof.
130 Gill Street. The Excelsior Library. This building is a reconstruction of one of the early hotels of Charters Towers the Excelsior. It was erected in the late19th century. It burnt down in 1995 and it was rebuilt as the Charters Towers Library.
Detour. Continue to 157 Gill Street and return. Former Ambulance Station. This building was erected in 1903 with a few classical features primarily the triangular pediment above the central doorway but it was very much a building of its day. It is now a museum about the ambulance service but only opens on Sundays.
Turn right at Excelsior Library and then right again into Hodgkinson Street.
24 Hodgkinson Street. The former School of Mines. The School of Mines was established in 1899 starting highly technical education in Charters Towers. The wooden building was erected at that time. A public subscription raising £1,500 funded the building but few students attended the fee paying institute. The government took it over in 1900 refunding the £1,500 to the community for a town Institute building. After most mining ceased in 1917 the government eventually closed the School of Mines in 1925 and the building was used by the education department. It was restored in 1993. 28 Hodgkinson Street. The Charters Towers Courthouse. The impressive Courthouse was built between 1886 and 1890 in the Greek classical style. But the shades over the side windows gives it a tropical touch. The central section has perfect symmetry with three arched entrances below a triangular Greek pediment. It was designed by the government architect James Clark. Return to Gill St.
Towers Hill. The town lookout is a granite peak 1,343 metres above sea level. Although shafts and mines were scattered around the town some were on Towers Hill but there was also processing plants on Towers Hill. This state heritage area contained Chlorination Works, the Rainbow Battery and the Pyrites Works. The area was used from 1872 to the 1940s. There were six pyrites works here at its peak recovering gold from crushed ore. Gold ore obtained from below the water table level had to be treated with roasting in a furnace to expel the sulphur from the pyrites and to oxidise base metals. Salt was then added to release some other minerals. Finally chlorine was introduced so that a solution of gold chlorine was precipitated. There were other furnaces on the field. There were also two gold batteries – Rainbow Battery and Clarke’s Battery which extracted the gold from ores primarily by crushing and chemical processes including mercury extraction, cyanide extraction, leaching etc.

Things of beauty.
I often forget the small things that inspire me. One of them is old currency. I have a small collection. These are pre Bolshevik revolution Rubles. The further back you go in time, you can literally see why we call these things "bank notes". They literally used to be these huge notes from a bank saying "yeah, we agree to pay blah blah X amount".
The artistry and style that goes into these things is amazing. And even better, you can pick up these little bits of history really quite cheaply from a bunch of places.
