O what a fun name for a town!

This town, founded 1877, is 200km north of Adelaide in South Australia. Pop 218 at 2016 census.
It was announced in 2018 that the town's hotel would be closing 26th May 2018...Not sure if that remains a fact. https://t.co/Q5XE7X8OQU

In my wanders exploring what+how animals helped in war efforts, amazed to find image of an elephant pulling a plane.https://t.co/yrqPKrcR6q

Also, a shortage of horses in WWI (Western Front demands)- in Sheffield, an elephant (Lizzie) pulled ammunition.https://t.co/jft1pO7TY3 pic.twitter.com/P2ZE3T6Pfi
cockatoo in the city...
This cockatoo character is not just enjoying the view of Sydney's city world by the harbour, but he IS the view... https://t.co/72nL7AsyV1

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

Skate park empty but well lit...
Someone has decided to have some quiet fun...
This image was snapped in Portland, Victoria...
(Some claim this same koala has been seen down the Main Street, at the chemist and other local hot spots...)https://t.co/6wU6zqOqdU pic.twitter.com/AjMi0pQnqj

Even football matches were not off limits to thirsty and hungry emus in Broken Hill - far west NSW... https://t.co/C96jktQKtG pic.twitter.com/eUjIYudGmn
tried to help...
PASSING THOUGHT: Yesterday, rec'd a 2-hour call re significant troubles. Today, sought extra help + advice. Offered a professional contact number to yesterday's caller. Excited I could do something. My efforts were dismissed because of 'too busy now'. Feel deflated but I tried. pic.twitter.com/KR07WsQvAj
