It's a little dark, but this is geelongs sunken park, Johnstone Park. Once upon a time it was underwater, and then dammed, and then drained, a bandstand was added, and the park was shortened thanks to the city expanding and a TAFE going up, on one side of it is the Geelong Library and the Art Gallery as well as a War Memorial. I love the park, it always amazes me to see parks in the middle of cities, even more so when 300 or so years ago they were underwater!
Day 19
The sign outside the Geelong Library under it is says
all that mankind has done, thought, gained or been is lying in magic preservation in the pages of books
Day 18
I nearly trod on this fellow as i left the house, its a Cicada, and for the longest time i thought the brown shells were the actual creature, that somehow they made the noise or whatever, but clearly that wasn't the case, some summers there are more of these then others, and for the longest time, cicada's made me anxious. it's a long story but i don't feel that way anymore, and this is probably the first time i've seen one that hasn't been in a picture on the internet (well it is now. but you get it)
