My World Tuesday

These were taken during our visit to my sister's place in the lower part of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. She has a big garden in their front yard with many native plants. One of the flowers that caught my attention was the Waratah (Telopea speciosissima) , our official floral emblem of New South Wales. It was proclaimed our official floral emblem on October 24, 1962. Since I don't have Waratah in my garden, I grabbed the chance to take couple of photos. The Waratah is a stout, erect shrub which may grow to 4 metres. The dark green leathery leaves, 13-25 cm in length, are arranged alternately and tend to be coarsely toothed. The flowers are grouped in rounded heads 7 to 10 cm in diameter surrounded by crimson bracts, about 5 to 7 cm long. It flowers from September to November and nectar-seeking birds act as pollinators. Large winged seeds are released when the brown leathery pods split along one side.

My World Tuesday-Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum

The Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum is one of our favourite places to visit every time we visit the City of Goulburn. We visit Goulburn occasionally for one of hubby's family lives there.
It is about 2 hrs drive from Sydney in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Goulburn was named a city on 14 March 1863, by Royal letters patent by Queen Victoria making it the first inland city.The War Memorial and Museum was built as a lasting tribute to the gallant men of Goulburn and District who served in the World War 11. It was opened on 1925.
It is a square tower of stone conglomerate and concrete standing 20 metres high, with Rocky Hill as it's pedestal. Inside the tower is a tablet inscribed with the names of those who enlisted from the district.
The lookout gallery at the top of the Memorial gives unparallel views of Goulburn and the surround.
