Last year, I spent a happy hour or so dangling my legs off the promenade right there, watching the sun go down. An hour later, back at my apartment, my legs erupted into a mass of itchy, red lumps, courtesy of an invisible swarm of mozzies. Mrs Wife came off even worse when one of the lumps got infected. Nothing serious, but she had an unfuriatingly-itchy blister for the next week.

But we still love Venice.

WHAT is a mozzy?

Strewth. D'yas understand strayan, or not?

Bloody oath it's hard talking to mercans. Met one at a barby the other arvo. I told him to help himself to a stubbie of the amber fluid from the esky and he just stares at ya. I was busy grillin the chook and enjoyin' me grog. Jeez, he was a galah. Now, me own mates are a bit ocker, I confess, but this mercan was a whacker. So was his sheila.

Fair dinkum.

Bloody bonza, mate! Fair dinkum

Now steady on, this is a religious site
That's very funny. Nearly caused me to fall off the dunny
Didn't you give them the Aussie salute, or just tell 'em to rack off?
Anyway, sounds all True Blue

Seriously though, couldn't be worse than those blighters along The Murray!
Doesn't sound nice

Blimey Chuck, you mericans really must think before you post, now you’ve started the Ozzie’s off again. You can now see why we deported them in the 1700-1800s They went on to develop their own mutated form of the English language . Although walking through most of our towns these days it is difficult to tell yourself you are still in the UK.
Come back Ozzie’s, all is forgiven. And you won’t need those silly wide-brimmed hats with the corks dangling from them anymore to swat the flies off.

all okay Ray. This ones back!
Those early craftsmen and craftswomen (vagabonds) you sent on a slow boat DownUnder served the churches well and we have many beautiful ones thanks to them and their English pedigree.

Not sure if this contravenes anything but its available online so repost here.
This Salvation Army hall is I think still same as the building in place now, but now a private shop. Well the old (as we knew it growing up) 'Salvo Hall' is still there and I assume this one is same.
The building on the right is still there too and looks the same today

Nice old shot Richard. It could be a prototype mobile naafi from the Crimea war. . Photography-wise that is. Although I think the naafi didn’t happen till just after WW1. I like the steam engine, I remember seeing them used here until the mid 50s on my uncle’s farm for driving the big logging saw and thrashing machine - nobody seemed to worry about ‘elf-n-safety then
Can you see the bloke in the front of the engine? He must be the foreman since he is wearing what looks like a bowler hat.
Any chance of getting a recent shot? Always nice to compare the past with the present.
