Stairway to Paradise

I loved this set of stairs that I came across yesterday near the Visitors' Information Centre at Glenbrook in The Blue Mountains.

They list (in order I think) the towns and villages in The Beautiful Blue Mountains that is one of the beautiful areas in our State of New South Wales.

A Great Invention

Fellow Australian, Hugh Jackman, said "To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions." I would add that drinking it is pretty darned special too.

 It is coincidental but most appropriate that, on International Coffee Day, we welcomed a new coffee machine into our home.

The first cup was hot and delicious and the machine behaved better then the one it replaced.  Thanks to Barista Bob for getting the new gadget up and running.
