Bridges in Singapore
As an island state with a river running through it, Singapore has a lot of bridges, some old, some new and some inside shopping malls.

Snapshot Sunday: Wrest Point & Tasman Bridge Hobart
As it is the Australia Day week end I decided to post a few pictures taken in Hobart our capital city. Vanda and I celebrated with a typical Aussie barbecue. We didn’t have anything fancy but we enjoyed our chops, sausages and salads. We forgot to take our bottle of Fronte with us though. Vanda thought I had picked it up and I thought she had it. We had to wait until we got home for a drink so we just had a cuppa instead. It was a warm day but we kept cool under the nice timber shelter sheds built around the barbecues. We didn’t have much trouble with the flies but the ants were there in abundance. We had to watch our plates carefully. It was a lovely way to relax and much better than having to go to work! Here are my photos.

Pyrmont Bridge – Sydney
The Pyrmont Bridge was once a road bridge but has been converted to a pedestrian walkway that leads to Sydney’s Darling Harbour entertainment and shopping precinct. I knew that the bridge was a swing bridge but I was not aware that they still opened it. The day my sister and I were there this happened just as we arrived so I was thrilled to bits. We found out later that the bridge is opened regularly probably to keep the machinery in good running order in case they need to open it. It was especially interesting because the bridge carried the city monorail track over it. The monorail has since been closed so riding on that was another bit of luck.
