Oretal

Old Carnagie Library and palm trees. My dad said it wasn't in use when he was a kid and he's nearly 50 now.

Finished stitching my Oversight series.

this map is a piece of propaganda from 1921. honestly what shocked me about it was how little of Australia is marked out as “uninhabited”. I have seen maps shared around on this website that basically mark out the entirety of non-coastal Australia as “empty”. fucking colonialists from 1921 were more generous than some of you

the history of colonial Australia is a history of “taming the untameable land”. this has been reinforced through narratives that this country is:

inherently dangerous

uninhabitable

empty

uh bear with me

Photos of the front door to my aunt and uncle's restaurant! It may have been busy inside to take photos in there.

They recently remodeled the inside.

Photo from the park. I am looking towards an area with a bridge in the photo. I really like how this one is framed.

Photos from the other garden area at the hospital! This one has more plants and more shade to cool off under.

These photos are a little hard to make out. I was taking photos from my regular camera this day too. I'll see if I have some good photos from these same positions when I get the chance to.

A gazebo, an arch, and a fountain! These three things are in a garden area that's right in front of one of the hospital's entrances. It's a lovely little spot, I can see people coming out here to de-stress from a stressful hospital environment.

The entrance this area is next to is how I would always enter the hospital back then, so I thought that was the main entrance. Nope, there are two main entrances, and they're both pretty big ones.

Another inverted tree, but this time from the hospital. I think these are the tops of trees from one of the garden areas but I'm not sure.

Whoa! Something is... different...
