Hey guys, I’m still alive. Just realised i haven’t uploaded anything for almost a year. It’s been a rough year so far with work, school and job hunting so it’s nice to be able to create stuff again. I promise I’ll upload more content.✌️

Three Women with a Girl at Britannia Falls, c. 1910
Notes: names painted on the rock may include - Jessie Thames, Tilly Sharpe, Stewart Bins. There also appears to be a date of Feb 1909 and the clothing looks pre-war.
Britannia Falls was named by the Wentworth Falls Trustees in 1898 after Margaret Britannia (Brit) Young, nee Murray, daughter of Captain James Somerville Murray and Elizabeth Lilla Murray. James Murray was one of the first Europeans to explore the Valley in 1886.

I found a wonderful free camp in a forest, near a creek.All I vould hear was the light rain, the water flowing in the creek, and the birds. Absolutely gorgeous. There was only one other vehicle. There was a covered picnic table that gave me shelter when it rained. When it didn’t, there was a bush track to walk on. It has so many mushrooms and fungi. This was near Sydney, in the Blue Mountains
