  • Nothing like an amazon.com box to brighten up my day :) #
  • Finished for the day. Just testing Twitter updating via SMS #
  • Now testing twitter via mobile web. This way is probably cheaper… #
  • Played parents vs kids at Owen’s soccer practice. I scored 2 goals in our winning team but was exhausted afterwards. Really need to get fit! #
  • Whose stupid idea was it that notes on the bass clef are different to the treble? It’s a pain to learn to read one sort of music, not two! #

Well this is part of the memorial to HMAS Perth, a guided missile destroyer that served from 1965 to 1999, including distinguished service in the Vietnam war. Rockingham is the site of a major naval base, which is I guess the reason they put this memorial here. Also nearby there is a huge ship’s gun turret, presumably from the Perth.

In the background you can see the blue CBH grain terminal wharf, where I spent many summer days while I was in medical school. I had a job there most summers shovelling grain, unloading trains and loading ships. The top tower of that wharf has one of the best views around - was a great place to sit and eat my lunch or dinner, or just hang out when there wasn’t much work to be done.
