For the Botanically inclined... and speaking of trees....

EUCALPYTUS PULCHELA is just one beauuuuutiful tree.. fine leaves.. whitish bark.. fast growing...very nice indeed. I've just planted about 10 of them....

I also love Angofora Castata..which has wonderful clusters of beautiful flowers.

State Library.. here we come :) I think it's called 'Speakers Forum'.. used to be Yarra Bank...but hey.....SouthBank might also be a good pozzy for a rant...er.. 'articulate exposition' on say...

"MulitCulturalism=Racism".. or..

"The PostModern theft of your mind" or..

"Capitalism and Communism are dead..where to now?" or

"Some Truths about Religions" or..(take a deep breath)

"One Nation, One Culture One Race" (but all One in Christ) :)
