A 2'6" gauge 2-6-2 tank loco. Most railway in Victoria is 5'3" but 4 of these narrow gauge lines were added where heavy rail wasn't justified, mostly due to hilly country. Puffing Billy heritage railway on a drizzly dismal Melbourne morning. Some B/W shots from a few days in the state of Victoria January 1972 (When I find the slides of the trip I'll be able to locate each photo).

Typical of the times, a passenger train running between Melbourne and larger country towns. A mainline diesel, a van and 3 or 4 cars. These trains were on 5'3" gauge track. Suburban Melbourne, January 1972.

The new sound board is in service. The pastor and musicians are happy with the sound. The basic operations are good. It provides the same functionality as the former one. Now to learn its finer points and its means to expand functionality and to enhance music. May 2022. See detail photos of the board here: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/51226380

Children's play ground and a walking & cycling path along the levee bank of the Peel River, Tamworth's Bicentennial Park. April 2022.

Have a nice bench day. A bench without a back seems a waste of materials. How can one relax on it? Tamworth's Bicentennial Park. April 2022. HBM for 20/05/24

My entry to Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, 24/04/2022 this year, with a PiP showing the gear used. The photo is from the upstairs back window looking across some backyards to part of the front of a house on the other side of the next street. pinholeday.org We see the top of the Hills Hoist clothes line, the mandarin tree and the paling fence. Over the fence is a shade house. Beyond that in the next house is a steel workshop. Lastly is the front of a house in the next street. The centre object in the PiP is a short extension tube for my Minoltas SRT101/100. The pinhole is in heavy aluminium foil. The foil was originally the seal on a tin of 'Milo' chocolate drink powder. It has been glued to the lens face of the extension tube and a tiny hole made in the centre. The left hand side object is an adapter for Minolta MC/MD lenses to 4/3 camera lens mount. On the right hand side is my Olympus E410 with which the photo was taken. This is a photo taken with the Minolta years ago: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24038633 This is a photo taken with the Minolta's 58mm lens: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24038661 This shows an approximately 60mm focal length equivalent for 35mm film so ~30mm on a 4/3 sensor.

My pinhole gear. Mouse-over to see what each item is.
