Spooky,forgotten country under the Richmond Range. Forested ridges with swampy valleys,wetlands of open sedges and paperbark groves. Cattle grazing and timber extraction are the action...plus important wildlife habitat.

Bathing boxes are a feature of many of the bayside beach around Port Phillip Bay in Victoria. The boxes vary in size but a standard size is 2m x 3m and provide a storage place for owners when they wish to the visit the beach. Clearly many owners take much pride in their bathing boxes with colorful painting schemes including the occasional mural. They can be very expensive real-estate with prices of around AU$400,000 being paid for boxes in the exclusive Portsea area on Mornington Peninsula.

The tree in the front of the bathing boxes is a Tea Tree (Melaleuca) which are very common on the Mornington Peninsula. Not all of them reach the same height as this one.

I am posting 10 images in this upload which will be boring for some, but I like them. The reason I like these, is the artistic points I see in them. I like free flowing lines and shapes and I think these look nice, even though they represent destruction. The way the dead branches reach upwards in a crisscross disarray often set against the late afternoon cloud, appeals to me. This area is close to Finch Bay a few kilometres out of Cooktown.

 

It was in 2001/2002 in very poor rainfall seasons, that the whole extensive swamp area dried out allowing the salt water to rise towards the surface into the root zone of these splendid, large paperbark trees (swamp melaleucas) - "tea trees" to some. After that the whole area was taken over by many invasive weed species and rubbish trees. The Cook Shire is trying to repair the damage but gets no help from the State Government, but some from the Federal Govt environmental schemes.

The Disciples and Women at the Empty Tomb. Window in Lady Chapel dedicated to the first Dean of Adelaide, James Farrell & his wife Grace Montgomery, created by Powell & Sons, London. “He is not here for He is risen as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay.” [Matthew 28:6]

 

“There are-three-stained-glass windows in the walls of-the chapel. . . The-one to the right is a portrayal of the resurrection of Christ, and is ‘In memory of James .Farrell, M.A., X.C.D., first Dean of Adelaide, obit MDCCCLXIX; and Grace Montgomery, his wife, obit MDCCCLXX’. . .executed by Messrs. J. Powell & Sons, of-the Whitefriars glass works, London, to replace those which were built in the original chancel wall, and which were presented on its demolition to other churches.” [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]

 

THE LADY CHAPEL

Consecrated 7 Apr 1904, architect Mr.-E. J: Woods. When the chancel wall was demolished, the 2 triple windows (created by Wailes & Co 1876) were removed and given to Holy Trinity Adelaide and St Bartholomew’s Norwood. The new apse formed the Lady Chapel, funds being donated by Priscilla Simms in memory of her husband Dean Alfred Simms. Three new triple windows designed by John William Brown of Powell & Sons, Whitefriars were donated by Robert Barr Smith. The 2 windows removed had been dedicated to Bishop Augustus Short and Dean James Farrell & his wife Grace Montgomery; as are two of the new windows in the Lady Chapel.

 

“The builders are now engaged in laying the foundations of the lady chapel that is to be built behind the Cathedral out of a donation made by Mrs. Alfred Simms. Already the great north-western wall of the Cathedral has been pulled down, and the men have nearly finished excavating the vestries beneath the chapel. Two massive stone piers, three lofty archways, and a reredos 30 ft. high, will occupy the site of the old wall. The lady chapel will be in the shape of an octagon. It is to be built of Teatree Gully brown stone, with Murray-bridge freestone dressings.” [Advertiser 7 Feb 1903]

 

“lady chapel . . is the gift of Priscilla Simms, in grateful recognition of the gracious goodness of God and in memory of her husband, Alfred Simms. [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]

 

“St. Peter's Cathedral . . . The spires to the Cathedral were built as the result of a donation of £10,000 by Mr. Barr Smith . . . [He] has also given three windows. . . The lady chapel and vestry are the gift of Mrs Simms, who is also giving a reredos.” [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]

 

“The walls of the chapel are built mainly of brick, faced on the inside with dressed Murray River freestone, and externally with Teatree Gully freestone.” [Chronicle 2 Apr 1904]

 

“The question of stained glass for the central window was settled by Mr. Barr Smith generously offering to be responsible for the expense. Then a difficulty arose. Owing to the improvement in the art of staining glass which has taken place during the last quarter of a century, and other causes, the central window would be so greatly superior to those between which it would be placed that the harmonious effect of the whole would, be destroyed, and it would seem hardly on honour to the memory of Bishop Short and Dean Farrell that they should be represented by windows which would appear so inferior. The question then resolved itself into how to preserve the memorials to the late Bishop and Dean, and at the same time get over the difficulty which the stained glass presented. Mr. Barr Smith again generously came to the rescue, and offered to give new glass for all three windows, stipulating in the most emphatic terms that the two side windows were to be memorials to the late Bishop Short and Dean Farrell, and should bear the same inscriptions as at present.” [Register 1 Dec 1900]

The paperbark is characterized by its thick, paper-like bark that flakes from its trunk. It is mostly at home in swampy areas, but grows well among Eucalyptus.

 

Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory features numerous waterfalls which cascade from a sandstone plateau called the Tabletop Range, monsoon rainforests, intriguing magnetic termite mounds and historical sites and is a great place for photographers.

So don't you stop, being a man

Just take a little look from our side when you can

Sow a little tenderness

No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you

The thin papery bark bark, sometime in combination with its resin or other types of trees oleoresin, is traditionally used to caulk boats. A layer of the papery bark is placed over the edge of a timber before the next is fastened overlapping it, and this, swelling when wet, seals the seam.
