Lilian's Tree

26 January 1788, the begining of White settlement in the British Colony of New South Wales. May you have a wonderful relaxing day. My good friend, Alona Tester, from the lonetester blogs, did a wonderful post on 21 Facts about the First Fleet. Have a read, it is really good and I learnt something from it. https://www.lonetester.com/2018/01/21-facts-about-the-first-fleet/ Bye for now,  Lilian.

Now is the time we are all looking forward to holidays, sun, surf and sand, so I thought why not look for a place to stay? Port Stephen's is a lovely holiday spot on the north coast of New South Wales , not a place I've been to, yet. I found this article extoling the wonders of Port Stephen's, as a place to holiday at in 1920.   I love the comment about "another one or two million ants in the packed trams." What would the writer think of Sydney's trains, now? Not much has changed!       Bye for now, Lilian.  1920 'Why Not a New Holiday Resort?', Daily Observer (Tamworth, NSW : 1917 - 1920) , 6 December, p. 2. , viewed 05 Dec 2016, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article116937756 Article identifier http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article116937756
