Beautiful jacarandas

Hyde Park and War Memorial

I planned to visit The Australian Museum but got sidetracked in Hyde Park and its adjacent war memorial. Several hours later, I arrived at the museum to find it was closed for renovations.  Obviously my enjoyable diversion was meant to be!

The beautiful trees in Hyde Park

The War Memorial

I found this incredibly moving. The museum had letters and cards that the soldiers sent home, with exquisite sentiments expressed, and then very often there was a footnote to say the soldier had died during a later battle.  Heart-wrenching stuff but somehow profound and beautiful too.  So important to express our love, and not just during war.

Watson's Bay

A lovely Saturday stroll at Watson's Bay taking snaps with my iPhone, followed by scollops at Doyles Take-away.  Life is good!
