Jesus At The St Francis of Assisi Church Newton

This is a shot of Jesus on the cross being supported by St. Francis Of Assisi, or so I presume as the church where it is located is the St Francis of Assisi Church at Newton. This is the very church where Festa di Madonna Di Montevergine is held every year. The words “By Arthur Comelli 1-7-1953″ is engraved in the base of the statue so I assume that is the name of the sculptor.

I like this photo because it shows a closeness between the two characters.

Holdfast Shores Marina Glenelg

The creation of the Holdfast Shores Marina and the extension of the Patawalonga breakwater is probably one of the dramatic changes in the are in recent history. This particular shot is of a section of the Marina showing some of the boats and the restaurants and other shops that exist on the other side. It is a really popular spot that is frequented by locals and tourists alike, especially the cafes at night.

It doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter, you will always find a good selection of people walking around enjoying the atmosphere or having a nice cappuccino while watching others strolling around.

This is a photo of King George looking all nice and Regal sitting on his magnificent horse. He was born George Frederick Ernest Albert Windsor on 3rd of June 1865 and ascended the throne on 6th May 1910, and died on 20 January 1936.

Perhaps more remarkable is the tree behind it. Not native to Australia the Morton Bay Fig tree does well in our climate. You can find more spectacular trees in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens.

As Aussies, we are a pretty smart bunch, always willing to dazzle people with our brilliance, and if you don’t believe just ask anyone who has seen the Crocodile Dundee series. Anyone who has seen these movies can tell you that Mick Dundee played by Paul Hogan a good old Aussie Icon, was able to hold his own with the best of them including the Yanks.

Just because we live at the other end of the world does not mean that we do not like to keep up with what is going on around us, heck if anything, being Aussies, and willing to giving anything a good go, I might even say that we could be a step ahead of the rest of you guys, which is probably why you will hear about pop bandit on this blog before any other. If you want to know what is happening on the Internet before anybody else then you will want to give pop bandit a go. Once you have opened up a pop bandit account you will have your very own personal alert system that will keep you updated on the latest videos, news events and other stuff like products that hit the net.


Let’s face it, he that is able to keep up with the latest goings on in this world of ours is more likey to succeed in todays social circles. You will never be lost for words and will be able to inform people around you will all the latest tidbits including being able to wow them with the latest Movie Recommendations! Can you afford to not being in the know?

The Arch Of Remembrance And Brighton Wind Chimes

The Arch Of Remembrance while nothing spectacular resides at the sea town of Brighton only roughly 10 minutes from Glenelg and noted for its quiet beaches and jetty fishing. This monument was built in 1964 to replace the old one which turned into a replica of The Leaning Tower Of Pisa after a violent storm.

To one side of the Arch you will find a drinking fountain that was constructed by the women of Brighton as a memorial to Kitty Whyte (Kathleen Duncan Whyte nee Mcully) who at the age of 35 dived off the jetty and was attacked and killed by a white pointer shark. 1926 saw a tragic loss of a woman who in 1919 saved a swimmer from drowning and was awarded a Grand Diploma by the Royal Life Saving Society.

Just past the Arch, as you walk down the jetty you will notice a musical hum which is the result of the controversial wind chimes, and can even take a break under the colorful ‘sails’ half way down the jetty. Most people will stop at one of the friendly cafes for a coffee and bite to eat before they continue to their next destination.
