Up 'my' end of Paddo, there are many 'broad arrows' on gutters which I take to be signs of where the early water mains were. In my copious free time, I will take a 'flaneur' and try to join the two lots up. I will try to find out, too, when the givt stopped using that 'broad arrow' symbol.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-80373645210899888962011-05-05T09:46:25.651+10:002011-05-05T09:46:25.651+10:00I like the view of the laneway.

I still see a lot of old man hole covers over the pits with the logo but can't quite work out how this marker fits into the scheme of things. <br /><a href="http://sydney-city.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sydney - City and Suburbs </a>Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-391650156586873342011-05-05T05:38:58.498+10:002011-05-05T05:38:58.498+10:00What a lovely neighbourhood.

My Canadian-Australian friend Robin (currently teaching at a university in Singapore) says Australia has a woman Prime Minister with very up-to-date ideas. Sounds good to me.<br />Meanwhile, I'll just hide out here in my little hobbit house and hope no one shoots me when the PM retracts the gun-registration law.<br />Luv, K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
