The view from my "office"

[Flashback]

The view from our current office in Phnom Penh.

For when only the best will do........... VIP tuk tuk

Found a decent little food court under the Park Hyatt (I think) called Eathai. Very civilised.

Flying to PNH tomorrow.

Expensive compared to others though (although still very cheap by western standards). Much cheaper and clearly more popular was Pier 21 @ Terminal 21 Sukhumvit.

Love the oyster omelettes at Pier 21. Followed by coconut ice cream or sticky rice and mango. or both.

Another walk from the office. This time I turned right!

This would take me to the Currimundi Environmental Park which we used to walk through when we first moved here. Lots of wildflowers in spring which was what I wanted to see again. As I started down the path I had the plumed frogmouth - preumably the same one as seen 2 days ago - fly past my right shoulder at head height. When it was about 2 metres in front it turned and flew past me. The flew into a tree. Watching this happen I nearly trod on a goanna which made quite a noise as it hurtled into the bush.

Along this coastal path there are numerous entry points to Wurtulla Beach. This is the closest one to the Environmental park.



And the beach with a dozen ships waiting to enter the Brisbane port and a couple obviously were leaving.




The path then turns to run between the Parkhaven subdivision and the Environmental park. The park exists because they are still occasionally finding live shells there.


Some mosaics on the path.

Some of the park flora.






And the slight rise you see between the trees is Battery Hill.


Now when we first came there were numerous fire trails through the park which we used to walk along to view the wildflowers. There are a few greens active here so now the firetrails are overgrown and impenetrable. Going to be great when another fire occurs if there is a strong southerly wind blowing it towards the houses. At least it might result in the elimination of the fox colony that now lives there.
So now the walk just leads back to the Nicklin Way.

Welcome lurker @Nailz

 

[drron]

Yes welcome @Nailz . Good to have another AFFer just up the road.

 

[Flashback]

Phnom Penh by night, but earlier a very sombre day of touring learning about the Khmer Rouge regime and the atrocities carried out under their rule.

Royal Palace

Why not head out for a ride in your PJs?

Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (aka the killing fields)

Tuol Sleng Genecide Museum / S-21 Prison

In transit at Luang Prabang, flying from Siem Reap to Hanoi.
Staying right near Train Street I'll certainly go there for a gander.

Kerikeri, North Island, NZ, our friend’s house, almost resort like.

The roof at the bottom of the first photo is one of their sheds! Their property goes into the trees.

Lunch spread and cat…..

I do like Bokarina, but the Maroochydore office was also looking pretty good...

@Buzzard , @Flashback if you don't already know about it, the book "Carrying Cambodia" is a hoot, and reflects what you see on the roads, very well.

Unbelievable feats of transportation are an everyday occurrence on the streets of Cambodia. Tuk-tuks, cyclos, cars, trucks, motorbikes and bicycles transport loads that defy your wildest imagination. Tuk-tuks crammed to the roof with fruit and veg, beaten-up old taxis transporting pigs bigger...
