Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Entrances or Doors


This week Cee asks us to show either entrances or doors. I have a few of each. First the entrance to Cockatoo Island which used to be a naval base on Sydeny Harbour. It’s now open to visitors and campers. Also in Sydney the entrance to Luna Park through Old King Cole’s mouth.

Here is the entrance built during the naval era.

A rather grand entrance to Rupertswood a fine old house in Sunbury, Victoria now owned by Salesian College.

Here is the Hobart Fire Station with a couple of roller doors which are probably a lot newer than the building itself.

Just a door because I knew we had doors coming up in a challenge.

A lot of older style homes have these glass panels next to the front door.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
