I was very impressed with the great effort with the last photo. Congratulations! Read all the posts to find out about a very exciting horse race. Can you guess what celebration/remembrance this photo was taken at? Clue: the name includes an acronym.
Congratulations Ellie for correctly identifying the Hamelin Bay stromatolites in the previous photo. Some scientists believe the rock like stromatolites turned carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen millions of years ago paving the way for creatures like us to evolve! Now for your next challenge. Can you identify what celebration this photo was taken at. I’ll give you a clue: it is a celebration that occurs in Italy.
Well done to those who correctly identified Geraldton from the last photo. It was a memorial to HMAS Sydney and the 645 sailors who lost their lives aboard it during a battle with the German ship HSK Kormoran during World War II. Each seagull on the memorial represents a lost sailor. For many years the location of the wreckage remained a mystery. You might have seen in the news the wreckage was discovered last year. Can you identify where this photo was taken? The first one to post a correct, detailed answer will receive $50 Banno bucks!
Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same forwards or backwards. Some examples are EYE, RACECAR or MADAM I’M ADAM. Here are a few other good ones:
Don’t nod
Never odd or even
Was it Eliot’s toilet I saw?
A Toyota! Race fast… safe car: a Toyota
Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus
Can you think of any other palindromes? They can be single words or phrases!
You asked for it, so here it is. A joke section! When posting to the jokes section, remember the Grandma rule: if your grandma would be offended, DON’T PUT IT ON THE BLOG! In this section we won’t discriminate against people. Otherwise, enjoy the jokes section and make everyone laugh.

Pimped up puppies! What have you been feeding these dogs? The reason dogs bite people.
Wow, what a fantastic visit we had from DC Green! He was very entertaining with his surfing tales and rapping skills. I especially liked the Australian Idol story. What did you think of the visit?
