We spent four years adventuring through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, seeing every corner of the place we are proud to call home. To mark our journey and make sure we saw as much as possible, we photographed every post office (134) in the Upper Peninsula. We saw amazing sights, met lots of wonderful people and had so much fun. We put a book of the photos together - to preview the book and see more, check it out on Blurb: bit.ly/1jPEKvq

Identifier: 15046
Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit

Government: Moyne Shire
State: VIC
Country: Australia
Statement of
Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).
Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.

I always feel that the posts I have seen in foreign countries are much cuter than the Japanese ones. I prefer this style over the Japanese one.
海外のポストってかわいいよねー。

After mating, the two cats playfully nipped, pawed, and growled at each other. Here you can see yet another of the many animal penises that I saw during this trip.

"Die Fledermaus" opened at Dallas Opera tonight. I watched the show, cheered for my cast, laughed with the staff and went to the cast party. Still...no matter how much fun I have at an opening, I always come home feeling a little empty. My career is all about process. If I'm not working on something, I don't feel whole.

Despite temperatures being slightly above zero degrees Celsius, the heat rising from the bottom of the Lovozero mine (-600m deep) allows succulent plants to grow easily by the main well. 470 miners still work day and night shifts here to extract titanium, niobium and tantalum7 The mine is located in the middle of the tundra in the Murmansk region in Russia.
FR: Malgré des températures à peine au dessus de zéro, près du puits principal, la chaleur provenant du fond de la mine (-600 m) est telle que les plantes grasses poussent facilement. 470 mineurs travaillent encore jour et nuit à l'extraction de titanium, niobium et tantalium dans le site minier de Lovozero (-600 m de profondeur, 30 km de galeries) situé en pleine toundra dans la région de Murmansk.
