The shortest day of the year is now past So cold wet and windy and harsh Oh for the sun, Warming my bum, On a beach somewhere sandy and vast! Ned www.wedbyned.com .au 

I happened upon this old Australian Geography school book we bought at a garage sale years ago. I hate to see something like this get lost from a family. As you will see by the inscription, this book was given to Rosalind in 1909 from "Mother" . That makes 'Mother' a minimum of 120 years old now, and even Rosalind is probably around 100 if she is still with us. I have a fascination with old stuff too I guess. Love these drawings of Sydney, Melbourne and Cairns. Please do let me know if you think you might know Rosalind or 'Mother'. Cheers! Ned Hoskin www.wedbyned.com .au
