Launceston.
Fearing the French might establish a settlement there, Governor King of NSW in 1804 sent Colonel William Paterson to set up a town at Port Dalrymple in the north of VDL. It is now Georgetown on the coast. It was a difficult site so Paterson moved to the confluence of the South Esk and Tamar Rivers in 1806. Paterson called the place Launceston after the birth town of Governor King. The settlement struggled but in 1813 it was declared a free port to international shipping and the town slowly progressed. Most building in the 1820s was on the wharf where men like Reibey had their own wharves. A large penitentiary was built to provide convicts to build the town but the main early structure is the Paterson Barracks and Commissariat Store in St Johns Street which was erected in 1828. It is an austere, solid stone three storey structure. The other early building is St John’s Anglican Church which opened in 1825. It was a replica of the original St David’s neo-classical church in Hobart. Between 1901-11 the church was incorporated into a new St John’s and only the entrance porch remains visible attached to a Victorian gothic church!
The early town relied on flour mills, breweries and the wool trade for its prosperity. Two early settlers, John Batman and John Fawkner established a village across Bass Strait in 1835 called Melbourne. The arrival of the western railway in 1871 boosted the town as did two major mineral discoveries which made Launceston boom. They were the tin deposits at Mount Bischoff in the west in 1871 and gold at Beaconsfield in 1877. The wool industry was still flourishing and Waverley Woollen Mills were established in the 1870s and still operate today. By the 1880s Launceston was prosperous and held an International Exhibition in 1891. The Albert Hall was built at a cost of £14,000 to house the exhibition. Tasmanian producers exhibited as did companies from England, Germany, Austria, France, the USA and New Zealand. The competition with Hobart was strong even in those days and in 1894 Hobart also held an International Exhibition. (Melbourne had had an International Exhibition in 1880/81.)
The next factor to develop the city was the availability of cheap hydro electricity from the late 1930s which saw Coats Paton threads and textiles establish in the city ( they closed in 1997 and moved to Wangaratta in Vic.) and the railway workshops for the whole of Tasmania were built at Inveresk just outside the city centre( also now closed.) Launceston also became the first city in Australia lit by hydro-electricity back in 1895 from a generator on the river above Cataract Gorge. Big employers in Launceston today are Boags breweries, Waverley Mills and the education sector- a university campus as well as the Australian Maritime College for training mariners. Greater Launceston has a population of over 100,000 people.
Examples of the boom period of Launceston can still be seen in the outstanding late 19th century Customs House, the impressive neo-classical Town Hall, the charming 1891 Queen Victoria Museum (the city venue) and the fine stores and buildings in the CBD. The boom period also saw some grand private houses built along the hill tops of the city.
Franklin House.
Convicts built this good example of a Georgian style house in the village of Franklin. Next door is St James’ Anglican Church built in 1845. Franklin House was built for a local brewer and innkeeper in 1838 but in 1842 it was sold to Mr W. Hawkes who converted it into a school for boys. The school operated until 1866 when the house changed owners. It had a succession of owners until the National Trust bought it in 1860. Note the fine porch with Ionic Greek columns, the wonderful fan light above the door with an elliptical central piece of glass, and the string course across the facade to separate the two levels of the building. Inside the house is known for its extensive use of Australian red cedar for the doors, architraves, door frames etc. The complex has a pleasant coffee shop and gardens.

I love history, and I especially love medical history. So when I recently stumbled upon this set in an antique store, I was massively intrigued. At the time, I didn't know the meaning of caponizing, but I know what it means now! Caponize means to castrate a rooster, and these are the tools used to do it. OUCH!! Sorry for the poor quality - I was in a dark basement and took this shot through dusty glass.
I actually found the Fashionista accessory sets! I love accessories and especially shoes. Ive baught entire fashionista closets just for one new shoe mold. Barbie shoes are so much fun. Here Chloe and Yasmin try on some jewelry and shoes.
SET 3 – Olive Branch Kroger, Post-Remodel
The main signage itself reads “DAIRY fresh from the farm,” and is affixed to some almost-shutter-like structures hanging forward off of the wall. Behind the signage are some stencils reminiscent of rolling hills, similar to what is also seen in the produce department wall décor in fresh and local (which is not present in this location, since produce isn’t against a wall, but can be seen here, as an example).

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
I got set 6869 "Quinjet Aerial Battle" because I had a 10% coupon from the LEGO catalog and needed to use before it expired and it made since to use it on the most expensive of the new sets.
Also grabbed 6866 "Wolverine's Chopper Showdown"
and a S6 minifig for parts.

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you's play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

The Rawin Set AN/GMD-1B was a transportable radio direction finder designed to track a balloon or rocket-borne radiosonde transmitter automatically. The FM or AM "radiosonde" signal would be received, detected, and amplified by the unit and then translated into temperature, pressure, and humidity values for meteorological observations. It could also track wind speed and direction at various altitudes as the radiosonde descended to Earth. This unit was used to receive data from Loki (named after the Norse god) and Arcas ("Al- Purpose Rocket for Collecting Atmospheric Soundings) sounding rockets. These rockets were developed in the 1950s and examples of both are on display in the museum.
Fun Fact The term "sounding rocket” comes from the nautical term "to sound," which means to take measurements. Sounding rockets and receiving devices helped scientists and meteorologists study conditions in Earth’s multiple atmospheric regions.

How I made my Background and colored my Sea Shell:
I colored my sea shell only with one copic marker (the orange one :) cause I have only 18 copics till today :) ). Then I distressing the back paper behind the sea shell with 3 colors of Distess ink (2 different blue and the tea dye one), I used my sponge to take the color from the Ink and gave it to the paper. Then I spread the ink on my wet brush to make an effect like sand on the beach. Last but not least gave white gel pen on the blue area.
I am joining also another challenge with this card....
For more info you can take a peak on my BLOG
Thanks for looking :)
