Tobruk Memorial
Monsignor Steele who took this Kodachrome film attended the ceremony of the unveiling of the Tobruk Memorial as a member of the War Graves delegation. Monsignor Steele was an Australian Army chaplain in Tobruk. Monsignor Steele's film description follows: Tobruk opens with pictures of notices, one in English and German and the other concerned the children's school. I took them because there were no German notices and no children in the Tobruk we knew. Then comes the old distillery in ruins and views of Tobruk with various wrecks in the foreground. Flocks of camels and goats and well fed horses browsing on good herbage were something we did not see in Tobruk. The shots at the unveiling would have been perfect if the English M.O. who operated my camera had been a bit slower on the draw. He missed Sir Leslie laying a wreath because he had to attend to one of the guard who had fainted. The pock marked walls belong to the buildings in the dock area. German POWs made a good job of repairs to Navy House. The chaplain on the path is Father Harry Leonard of Benghazi accompanied by a German POW chaplain Father Bruno Amann the latter was captivated by Sir Leslie's gracious affability. There is a picture of Sollum, the two passes can be seen, Hailfays to the left, Sollum on the headland to the right. The immense graveyard of tanks includes all models ours and theirs. Near Daba there are a few shots of the desert and of the wreckage that litters the desert from Tobruk to Alamein. The view of Tobruk cemetery was a fairly good one. There is a view of the POW cemetery at Tel-el-Eisa. There is a dome on the hill behind the cemetery. Last of all is the cemetery at Alamein, the Union Jack floats proudly in the breeze above the graves of seven hundred men who gave their lives to safeguard the freedom that goes with the flag.
Strand Rock Pool in Townsville
We made it to Townsville on our Outback Queensland Road Trip and this evening we were exploring Kissing Point and The Strand.
At the bottom of Kissing Point is the iconic Strand Rock Pool.
This pool has a lot of history behind it and is used to swim in during the jelly fish season so you can cool down easily without the fear of being stung.
As you can see, people still swim in it during winter....
You can see what we did on our Outback Queensland Road Trip here,

Mt. Stuart, Townsville 2015
Mount Stuart overlooks Townsville with an elevation of 584 metres. It was named for Clarendon Stuart (1833–1912) who was Townsville's first district surveyor. There is a fabulous lookout at the top. A turn-off is on the main road heading out to Charters Towers. There's a loop walking track which takes around 15 minutes to walk. Note though that the walk is not suitable for little ones or people who have difficulty walking as there are minimal gaurd rails to stop people from falling. In other words, it's exactly as nature intended it to be. We did the walk in sandals without breaking our necks but next time, I'd do it in runners so I can step out on more of the boulders with confidence.
Thanks for watching
