Sunday Selections #817

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.

In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

Charlotte's colour of the month is Dusty Mauve.

I was there to support an elderly friend who didn't want to go alone in case she got lost, while she had her MRI I waited near the cafe and had a very nice Hot Chocolate.

Brother R hired a tradie to measure

and drill holes for the bolts that will soon hold a shade sail in his little back yard.

I recently took a little bus trip into the hills area and while waiting for that bus I took a photo of our Arkaba Hotel, on the corner of Glen Osmond Road and Fullarton Road.

Here's a closer look

and here is what's available there: 

Sportys which is a very popular bar area with many TV screens for people to watch footy matches or the Melbourne Cup horse race every year and other entertainments too, live bands, Drag Queen shows etc; it gets quite noisy and sometimes I can hear the live band music if the wind is from that direction.

Accomodation, I have never stayed there but it seems to be quite popular with people coming from all over for whatever event is going on; 

All Day Dining, I have eaten there and the food is pretty good;

Gaming, I believe this is the gambling area with slot machines; 

and of course being a Hotel it has a drive through bottleshop for beer-wine-spirits, supplied by Hurley Cellars

in the hills, I got off the bus at a "Park'n'Ride where hills people people can park their cars and catch a bus to the city to work or shop

I haven't been there in quite a while, about three years, and was surprised by how much greenery now surrounded the area

from the carpark I used to be able to see the nearby small township's Hotel and Post Office

and in this direction I used to be able to see the road leading to the freeway and even part of the freeway, but now there is green everywhere you look. The air up there is fresh and cold this time of year, wonderful after breathing city suburban air.

one of the two shaded seating areas has a magpie mural

and the other has these flowers which look familiar, but I don't remember what they are, the painted stems are close to Charlotte's Dusty Mauve
