I have noticed the stationary world has definately lifted its standard in recent years in terms of amazing creativitity, funky designs and lots of new great ideas especially for weddings. Many shops have been opening in shopping centres and even online. Today, I would love to highlight the exclusive stationary supplier Alannah Rose – http://www.alannahrose.com.au. Check out her web page, you will definately find something is not only useful but looks great. If you haven’t done your wedding invites yet, definately check out their work.

Old Railway and Blundell Cottage Canberra

Monday, March 30th, 2009 by Akwoo

We were on a look-out for some amazing vintage sites in Canberra over the weekend, and to our pleasant surprise we discovered the old Railway Museum in Kingston. I can’t believe after all these years living in Canberra, we never visited this site. The museum opens every Sunday from 10:00 to 4:00pm, but unfortunately it was Saturday when we arrived so we didn’t get to go inside. Instead we scouted around the outside and we found these interesting old train carriages…..

We also visited the new Portrait Gallery in Canberra. The building had vibrant colours and interesting and modern architecture. If you have the opportunity to pass by Canberra, we highly recommend that you visit the Portrait Gallery, National Museum, and even new shops in the surburb of Parkes. You’ll need to walk through the building where you’ll come across interesting artwork which is another fantastic site for photography enthusiasts.

$167000 still for a beach box, woah!
Apparently they have dropped in price also, used to be over $200000.

Our thoughts go out to all that have endured and suffered from the Victorian bushfires on Saturday 7th of February 2009. May God be with you during this time.

The Australian Red Cross has set up an Victorian bushfire appeal – to donate please visit the following link.

Here is a tribute photo and description from Melbourne Photographer – Shelton Muller.

Saved Property by Shelton Muller.

“My sister and her family battled to save their property over this past weekend. Their pastures were charred, they lost a watertank and fencing, but their house, sheds and equipment were spared, along with the pets. Most importantly they are all safe and we are very grateful for that. This is my tribute image of their property as it stood proudly in the glow of a smoky sunset after one of Australia’s darkest weeks. – Shelton Muller.”
