Keep up the great work and I always visit your blog when I want to travel somewhere else, it reminds me of all the great suburbs I'm yet to discover right here in my backyard!

Love the way you've lived or worked in so many of the suburbs I'm visiting. By the way, the old hospital site (now closed for years) is really spooky. There's a small museum in one of the buildings - I would've visited but even the two people who 'run' it were a little freaky!<br /><br />Nick - Thank you and yep, Burramatta does mean Parramatta - even though he's actually from Moree I guess he just liked it.<br /><br />Louise52suburbshttp://www.52suburbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-84811164029842878872010-04-15T05:22:00.210+10:002010-04-15T05:22:00.210+10:00Hi Louise,

I'm not Aboriginal by any stretch, but I was under the impression that "Burramatta" was the traditional name for Parramatta.<br /><br />Anyway, your work here is, again, entertaining, enlightening and inspirational!<br /><br />NickUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546026677175309459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-36154470201838538272010-04-14T12:44:57.367+10:002010-04-14T12:44:57.367+10:00One of your very best Louise, thank you once again...One of your very best Louise, thank you once again! I've just made my lunch and have settled in here to do a bit of a catch up which makes me feel a tad slack while you are out there and just doing it! :-)<br />I thought I knew La Pa, as you call it, I did my nursing training at Prince Henry Hospital at Little Bay, as did my mother before me... but you have given me a whole new outlook on La Pa and I will revisit one day very soon! cheers Pennie<br />P.S. PHH had a Leper Colony right down near Little Bay Beach, most of the patients were from Darwin, I don't think we have any Colonies in Aus any more.

Can I also tell you, that red belly black snake was WAY too close to my feet for my liking. Given I only use a wide angle lens on my shoots for the blog, I had to get uncomfortably close to it to get a shot - and this was outside the normal enclosure so he free to whip over to me if he'd felt like it.

Not only that your images are beautifully shot, the story or meaning behind them is equally captivating. <br /><br />My favourites are "red belly black snake", "seagulls :: 3" and "if there could only be one, which one would you choose?".

What a great tour and with extras like snakes, boomerangs and a lot of history included. The artwork made a connection to the artwork and history of the First Nations people here in Canada and especially on this island I live on, Vancouver Island. So much common history.
