Ben Cooke’s elementography

Leighton Beach, North Fremantle.

A pseudo helix somewhere south of Kalbarri.

Lake Monger, Perth.

A recent trip to Bendigo afforded the opportunity to wander the streets, albeit briefly, and marvel at some of the majestic gold rush period architecture.  The town hall, hidden back from the main street, is indeed one.

One appears to be experiencing some shenanigans with one’s computer this evening, so I’ve been forced to dip into the archives for an image.

This image is from the Gap in Albany, quite possibly my favourite place on earth.  The average age of the rocks is ~3.5 billion years.

Leighton Beach is one of the last remaining peaceful beaches on the coast between Perth and Fremantle.  It’s never too busy, you can take your dog, and you can always get a park.  That’s all about to change when the new developments come into play in the coming years around North Freo station and it’s sad to think this little slice of history will soon be lost to spiralling apartments and cafe lattes.

For now though, the resplendent foot bridge linking the Stirling Highway and Port Beach Road across the Freo line stands; the old comms tower is sadly no longer with us.  Hopefully the bridge, which will feature on this site over the next few days, will remain.
