12 years ago. In case you are unaware, today 1/9/2026 is National Wattle Day 2026.

I don’t know what it is about the Fairfield Advance but I always seem to get sucked in by its articles. I reckon it’s because the Advance looks after all of us in Fairfield so well.

Here are some pics of wattle I took today along Cabramatta Creek, all within a few hundred metres of where I live, inspired by the article. I am also including a couple of pics I took a week ago.

Although they require extra work when their longevity is considered, I would like to see a greater emphasis on wattle planting and replacement in our LGA. Their colour is spectacular adding extra oomph to the beauty of where we live.

9 years ago. Special memories.

It was love at first sight in Fairfield Park today; and why not, it was a lovely first day of Spring full of beautiful people - and a dog.

It’s become somewhat of a custom now to rope someone who happens to be in the park into taking a group pic at the end of our walks.

Today, a willing mum was picked for the occasion. With her was her daughter who instantly loved Darcy and they were a real hit. Darcy is the four footed friend of Robert Ward, the group’s leader.

I wish to thank the mum who was good enough to take pics of the group and hope you enjoy this record of a beautiful event. Your kindness has permitted us to have a more complete record of pleasant memories. You may care to download them and keep.

I’ll be posting some pics of today’s walk with the Fairfield Seniors 50s and Over Walking Group later. It was Jersey Day today and readers will notice a number of them in the pics in the album I will be publishing later.

I went to today’s rally to stop the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal. The rally was held at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. The terminal will impact on the centre and the environment in numerous ways.

The Arts Centre is a favourite place of mine and is located on the Georges River. I visit it frequently and it has great exhibits and events. Particular favourites of mine were the Archibald Prize artworks and the Afro Latino Festival. Walks in the Leacock Regional Park at Casula are also a good excuse to visit the centre.

Tributaries of Georges River include Cabramatta and Prospect Creeks about which I often report on this page.

I recently attended a meeting of the Georges River Combined Councils Committee on behalf of the Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance (the meeting was held at the centre) and had a chance to see the the national touring exhibition, CUSP: Designing into the Next Decade. I took some pics and some are included in this album.

Some pics of today’s rally are also included in this album.

SPRING BRINGS with it colour and new growth. It is a reminder of renewal. We are seeing a lot of this as the days pass by.

IT IS ALSO a showcase of the pride and care that many residents take in where they live.

THIS ALBUM contains pics of a just a little bit of the host of beauties I have seen over the past couple of days.
