Granny and grandpa

	Granny and grandpa's lounge and family room.
	Despite the fact that my grandparents have a dishwasher, they prefer to dothe dishes by hand.

Bicentenial conservatory

	In 1989 this impressive glasshouse was opened. It contains a mostly complete copy of a rainforest environment.
	The entry of this conservatory is quite impressive and has numerous posters and displays.
	This 1m wide leaf of the Colocasia gigantea, it would make a good fig-leaf replacements.
	A fascinating poster on the power system of the conservatory(I undistorted this image, hence the bluryness).
	A small blue berry, similar to Dianella.
	Out the back of the conservatory is this cute glass wave, made from lots of pieces of plate glass.
	To provide both the required humidiy, and cooling, a thousand microsprayers pump in fog.
	Another shot of the fog.
	And another.
	A large unmarked palm.
	The roots of the Pandanus lauterbachii has stilt roots which lift the plant above rushing flood waters, preventing suffocation.
	Another technique to keep the humidity up is this small rain patch over the pond.
	The building is 100m long, 47m wide and 27m high.
	An arty farty shot :-)

Waterfall gully

	The first sight of the falls.
	Closer...
	Really close.
	The side of the falls
	As you walk towards the second falls you get a nice view of the top of the falls.
	Ah! I have discovered the art of blury water.
	Mmmm, blury water...
	A picture of the seconds falls. Lots of fine mist. Quite nice, almost as good as a pro :-)
	The obligatory powerline shot for lynne.
	Mum said "there's no point in going up the hill to admire a sunset, as there won't be one." Well, there was, and it was the best grandma had seen for years(sigh).

Skye lookout

Before going to bed we went up skye and took a picture of the city's llights.
