Musings on life and times
I have been fortunate to visit Saint Petersburg twice, once each in autumn and spring! I never fail to be filled with wonder by The Alexander Column, located in the centre of Palace Square.
The column is a single piece of red granite, 25.45 m (83 ft 6 in) long and about 3.5 m (11 ft 5 in) in diameter.

Stick with six words for Debbie
“Rohini” was an early residence in the area. It gave its name to the street, at the end off which it sits. There is now an Anglican retirement village using the same name, occupying the same area. The name is preserved in the gate, (if you zoom and have good eyesight!). It is located near Turramurra station, originally named Eastern Road. ‘Turramurra’ is an aboriginal word meaning ‘high hill’, appropriate as it is a high point on the north shore line.
