#naarm — Public Fediverse posts

Rough edges today. Nothing but rough edges. Last of the series I took with the Pergear 50mm.

A couple more moments in Melbourne chasing shadows on the streets with a 50mm.

It's the Winter Solstice and my baby mandarin tree has grown me its first fruit.

Along with my orange tree, it's great to have some bright colour and juicy fruit in winter

I'm excited to be a part of the group exhibition 'Encore' - opening tonight at Gallery Unbound, Northcote.

It was a joy to dive back into oil paint again after a long break. This painting is based on a series of watercolours I made when I was in Finland last year.

Wish I could be there, but I live too far away. Sending love to everyone who’s protesting against the Palestinian genocide in so-called Sydney and Melbourne today, and hoping everyone stays safe and warm in the rain! 🇵🇸

For the meantime we're gonna look for homes in #Naarm but the end goal may be moving up to #Gadigal Country since we have family up here . . Lots of stuff to think about . .

Oh yeah BTW we're 880km away from home right now . . .

Public transport tram infrastructure in #Adelaide #SouthAustralia is abysmal.

Our neighbouring big city of #Melbourne #Naarm has the most incredible tram system by comparison.

When pressure came to remove the trams in Naarm, its recorded that Professional and friendly ticketeting staff on trams (and their strong union) were an important part of retaining the network as was a much earlier decision when Melbourne was first planned for major roads to be wide enough to 'be able to do a u-turn with a bullock cart".

Across in Adelaide, which was established by the South Australia Corporation (you heard that right), trams didnt go so well.

Aparently the tram network once established was somehow bought out by the largest Tire Manufactuer of the day and along with immense pressure applied by the car lobby, the tram tracks were ripped up.

Anyone know more detail on what exactly happened to the tram network in SA?

I'm wanting to look beyond car industry history that records that 'people just wanted to drive, so it was pulled out', which seems like an incomplete narrative to me. What folks just went oh well, rip my local tram out, no worries? What went down?

Number of Days Until #TISM - 39

"WTAF Craige! Yesterday you said zero days. Didn't you see them last night!?!"

I did. Both TISM and #MachineGunFellatio delivered breathtaking performances. However that was in #Meanjin - I also have tickets to their #Gadigal show 💪🎉

If you haven't got tickets to their #Naarm or Gadigal shows, I suggest you do yourself a favout and get a wriggle on. They don't make them like this anymore.

🎶 15 minutes is too long 🎶
