G'day all Another one from my trip to Western Australia.
At Geraldton there is a memorial to the sailors who were lost off the WA coast when the HMAS Sydney II was sunk in WW2. It's a particularly beautiful memorial and it's focal pint is a silver dome with 645 silver seagulls - one for each sailor lost. The memorial is even more significant now than in the past - the wreck of the Sydney (and the Kormoran, the German raider that sank her) was located in 2008, about 100 km off the coast at a depth of 2,468 metres. http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/186421/645_Seagulls.html Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
