slow demise of a once familiar word?....

Feeling very old…just went in to a shop in Ballarat to ask for an Atlas. The young girl just looked at me & said, “An acklass?”…& then tried to explain maps on phones! Told her no reception where we’re going! She called an older bloke over to ask him what I meant!! 😳🤪🤣👍🏻❤️🐪 pic.twitter.com/KEM0wfBmBM

construction workers' world map...

Any palette is an opportunity for art...
It appears, from a Google search, that these are Turkish construction workers...But where exactly?
Interesting that Africa through to Europe is 'missing a seamless, vertical line of bricks'... https://t.co/aSxbMFtWf3

vaccine priorities...

This result is confronting for Australia...
Not a whisper from the federal government that teachers should be prioritised...
Agree that medical staff should be 1st, but teachers should be 2nd priority...
Both confront large numbers of people on a daily basis in a small space... https://t.co/psLlpDa2bJ

rain passes Dromana?...

According to the current map below, Dromana will be in 'the press gallery' as the rain rolls in...May it not build into a mirror of yesterday's and today's NSW deluge... https://t.co/A870oma2cU

Australia as it was...

Early 19th C map of Australia is certainly interesting - finding no issue with a Van Diemen's land in the northwest of today's Northern Territory + New Holland, once Australia's name, is now 'squished' to a chunk of today's Western Australia + a portion of South Australia and NT. https://t.co/DOEzut8U6f
