Well, Robert Muldoon, was, if certainly not corrupt, certainly not a shrinking violet either.....

Lol.. the Prime Minister and finance minister who had all the experience in the world as a cost accountant. I liked him though. Not because he necessarily made the right decisions, but that he made decisions according to his own best judgement and stick to them come what may. Hated by many loved by few, he was a character. He was a sergeant in WW2... Glad I wasn't serving under him.

Interesting; he had the rebarbative certainty of an NCO vigorously organizing raw recruits..... (not unlike the style of some of Canberra's corridors...)

Where else would one sit in a beach chair?

The warmer it gets, the more drop down to the bottom. Range in temperature depends on how many and how big the item. The one above is from 16C to 36. The one below goes to 30. In other words, the temp today is off the charts.. At least for this. View attachment 19760

I've seen these things and never knew what they were, I thought they were just decorations.

Thanks for explaining.

Okay, I gotta be honest with you. That may look pretty, but pretty ain't gonna cut it when it comes to personal preference. Plus 30 looks pretty at the beach.

Hi Sir, Wasn't this the Hudson's Bay Company outpost?

Hi Sir, Wasn't this the Hudson's Bay Company outpost?

North West Company first.

Fort William Historical Park (formerly known as Old Fort William) is a Canadian historical site located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, that contains a reconstruction of the Fort William fur trade post as it existed in 1816. It officially opened on July 3, 1973.
The site is located on the banks of the Kaministiquia River at Point de Meuron. This point is a few kilometres upstream from the original fort's site, Fort Kaministiquia, which has been built over as part of the city of Thunder Bay. Point de Meuron has separate historical significance, as it was the location of an Hudson's Bay Company post of the same name. (Wikipedia)
Named in 1807 after NWC chief superintendent William MCGILLIVRAY, Fort William occupied a pivotal place in the company's vast trading network. ... This occupation, combined with major financial difficulties, led to the NWC merger with the HUDSON'S BAY CO in 1821.

Yes. Southern area, close to the Rocky Mountains.
