Abandoned guitar found Melbourne park

Friday, March 12th, 2010

This morning at our Melbourne Bootcamp, I came across this abandoned guitar just after sunrise.

Mmm, I have seen some interesting things in the park, but never have I found something as valuable as a guitar even though it did look a little worse for wear with dents and scratches.

Came across this alone guitar in our Melbourne park at Bootcamp in morning

Hopefully the owner will make the journey back to this Melbourne Park at Edinburgh Gardens to reunite the guitar with it’s rightful owner.

Strange Public Art sculpture in the park in Melbourne this morning at boot camp. Was it put there by aliens or

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

This morning at boot camp there was a Strange Public Art sculpture in the park in Melbourne.

It made for interesting discussion, was it put there by aliens or some weird form of crop circles. More suspiciously was a black plastic garbage bag placed nearby. Nobody was game enough to investigate, was it a hidden camera inside or just maybe an empty garbage bag with dog poo inside, we will never know.

So maybe we will never know the origin of the Strange Public Art sculpture at our park in Melbourne.

While I was riding this morning, I came across some swans crossing the road at Albert park Lake.

So be careful and look out for swans crossing the road if your driving or cycling down Albert park Lake in Melbourne.

Rare sightings #1 Smiling, at risk of becoming an extinct expression of the past, a great experience today, the lolipop lady smiling to all

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

While riding the bike today, I went past a school crossing with a lovely lady who was providing assistance to children crossing the road. In the process I noticed she would smile at every person crossing the road, what a fantastic sight.

In the past people engaged in an activity that is becoming as rare as our rainfall, smiling.
A simple action that warms the soul and provides a quick burst of happiness, like yawning, smiling tends to be contagious.
Talking to our more senior members of society, people would walk down the street smiling, whistling to themselves or huming to a tune, signs that you are happy.
Next time you’re on public transport or walking down the street have a quick glance at those people around you, chances are they look angry, frustrated, annoyed, stress, tired, unhappy but most importantly NOT smiling.

So do something crazy today and smile while you are walking down the street, even though society may think your a bit strange/odd you may get one back.
I think that it is sad that smiling at a perfect stranger is viewed as some weird behavior that makes people feel uncomfortable.
