Kunzia sp. A small-leaved and rather spindly native bush in my garden. It usually flowers in spring, but we have had a little bit of rain, and these native plants can be rather opportunistic with their flowering times.

The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s. The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430 m) in 1957. Due to its ability to evade the early jet interceptors and its significant performance advancement over contemporary piston-engined bombers, the Canberra was a popular export product and served with air forces of many nations.

Another Canberra nose, this time of B.2 99+35 of the West German Military Geographic Service (Mil Geo AMT). She originally served with the RAF as WK138, and was transferred to the Luftwaffe in 1966 after having much of her bombing equipment replaced with reconnaissance kit. She was used for mapping duties, radar calibration and 'research' observations of Russian activities. Apparently the bright orange colour scheme of the three such aircraft was intended to persuade the Russians that their role was inocuous! German Canberras were retired by 1993.

This photo was taken out the front of Lake Tuggeranong College and I just love how each tree is a different colour. Autumn is the best time to see Canberra because its when the trees are at their best and makes the City truly beautiful.

In addition to being a tactical nuclear strike aircraft, the Canberra proved to be highly adaptable, serving in varied roles such as tactical bombing, photographic and electronic reconnaissance. Canberras have served in numerous conflicts, mainly with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Canberra was retired by the RAF in June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.
Bodø, 16 June 2012.
What a surprise to find this beautiful Canberra in Norway. WD955 used to be from 360 squadron at RAF Wyton. It is now preserved in the Norwegian Aviation Museum at Bodø.
I took this photo several years ago. I always liked the way the tree on the left was silhouetted by the building. This was taken in Canberra, Australia. I do not remember the name of the building but it is near the Australian Parliament Building, so it may be some government office. Any ID would be appreciated. Thanks.
