Who's a handsome brown banksia then? Proudly guarding University Avenue, these soft brush inflorescences are subtended by brown velvet bracts, just like my Auntie C's old verandah sofa. @ourANU

There is more seat leg room on a @linkairwaysau Saab 340B than on an A380, plus the turboprop engine vibrations transmitted through your seat ensure you get a free back massage!

Amaranthus, says my learned informant. The leaves and seeds are edible. Here it is again, proudly enjoying a bath in the longer wavelengths of the late afternoon sun

Ooh pretty posh station for a working south Yorkshire town. 175 years young, too

I wondered how the train from Hull via Selby to York would actually get there. Turns out it takes this really cool sliproad - sliprail - onto the east coast main from Doncaster #trains #railways

A tiny brass 2-cylinder Shay is under construction. So far, just the underframe and engine. Can't wait to see it in steam!

And it's in steam! Watch, just watch, sound on! Tracks? That is a very good question. 45mm gauge needed.

At last the tiny Shay has tracks to run on! What a weird little contraption! Now for some wagons and switches and sidings and signals and all sorts of whatnots...

For your weekend relaxation: 1.8 billion years of plate tectonics in 72 seconds. Fun to locate your hometown (or ancestral town) and track where it's been over the years...or how long it's even existed as a physical location. theconversation.com/witness-…
