Mt Paris Dam, TasmaniaBy tassiehayley · · From Pic of the Week
Took a whirlwind trip to Weldborough yesterday with my brother late in the afternoon, and managed a couple of quick photos of the dam with heaps of water flowing.

Coleraine Art and PhotograhyBy kirisimages · · From Pic of the Week
Congratulations to the Coleraine Art and Photograhy show organisers. As usual it was very well organised and a joy to attend. There were fantastic artwork and high quality photography. I even sold one of my photos of honeyeater on the fuchsias which I was rapt about. So I have been to Coleraine 3 times in a week (an hours drive for me there and an hour back) The Coleraine Chocolate shop twice, and the Wannon and Nigretta three times....as it rained all the time to the Wannon today I was very surprised and delighted when the sun came for this photo. You can see the water glistening on the rocks....

Only boys were allowed to have funBy Susan George · · From The Little Things
There was so much I was not permitted to do as a child, ’cos of being born a girl, in 1938.
Girls are quiet. Girls behave politely. Girls do not climb trees. Girls do not go running and jumping. Girls do not get muddy knees. Girls are sweet, clean and well mannered. Girls are not boisterous of rowdy.
It seemed only boys were allowed to have fun. Boys could be rowdy, it was considered high spirited in a boy. Such behaviour for a girl was considered shamefully ill mannered.
My brother was permitted to go by bus to visit our cousins a short distance away. Aunt often suggested I go as well. She and I could paddle together, she said, while the boys played their own games. My Father said, "NO".
I survived my restrictive childhood. I refused to fall into the trap of a young marriage promoted by my elders.
As a determined young adult my world blossomed. I studied for a good job which gave me ‘earning power’, with this comes a freedom not achieved by a lot of women in my age group. I travelled widely; l married a wonderful man. Together, we worked in the ‘wilds’ of a developing country. And together we have brought up three loving daughters.
I have encouraged our girls to view the whole world as their domain; to learn; to have an opinion; to seek adventure; to follow their dreams; to push for ‘a fair go’; to promote kindness; and give love. I’m proud to say my children are living caring lives. They are bringing up their children to be forward thinking and comfortable around the whole globe.
