Mary walking across the sand dunes at Twilight Cove. We had a delightful week and Xmas camping here with Dave and Jackie, before we were all married later in the year. . even had a tinned Xmas pudding with flies!
Probably the first photo of many thousands, and 100s of hours of video, I was to take over the next 56 years while following along several paces behind, or out of earshot, of Mary...
We had driven the Beetle down here and along the beach East & beyond the rocks. Washed it with water from Johnny's spear in the sand. I have the slide in a box! B2/32 all stored, damp free ready to rescue in case of fire.. #firesnearme 2019-20 New Year!
Tried to return on 29 Dec 67 in VW with Jen & Barry in their R4 but we didn't make it over the dunes. The first time, in 1965, we had the LandRover behind us in case of trouble, but a little push from the girls got us over OK.
One night, we slept amongst the dunes down towards the beach, so we would wake in time to get some sunrise shots. But as we still do now, we slept in!
Mary woke first, and before she saw the snake track in the sand beside me, she noticed my closed eyes filled with sand. The wind blew a little over night, as it does on the Nullarbor, and filled my eye sockets with fine white sand.
She gently woke me, with instructions, "Don't open your eyes!"
Dave and Jackie were all ready up and about back at the camp, by the time we returned.
We drove the Beetle along the beach to Kanidal Beach where we hosed it down with water pumped by Mary with the hand spear... maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&p=22019&d=pics&cmd=sp

I must dig out the shot of the VW on the beach, and stranded on a dune, where we left it over-night!

ruins of 9" Oddie Refractor telescope, in the background...
A few images taken at today's Canberra Flickr members meet.

Also nearby is the site’s largest and most advanced telescope, the 74-inch reflector was the Observatory’s primary research instrument throughout its lifetime. Its completion in 1955 was critical to Mount Stromlo’s shift from solar to stellar astronomy. The telescope was capable of looking deep into space and contributed to our understanding of the life-cycles of stars and galaxies.
The 74" telescope, built by GrubbParsons in the early 1950s
rsaa.anu.edu.au/observatories/telescopes/74-inch-reflector
The reflector had three focal arrangements, each of which allowed different astronomical techniques. One of the most powerful high-dispersion spectrographs in the world was permanently mounted on the Coudé focus – an instrument that astronomers could use to separate incoming light into a frequency spectrum. The telescope was also capable of advanced CCD imaging (charge-couple device - the same technology used in digital cameras) to produce high-quality photographs. The 74-inch reflector was so big that it initially required two people to function – one to operate the instrument attached to the focal arrangement, and another to drive the telescope and monitor the weather. The telescope was destroyed in the 2003 firestorm but remains in situ.
