Many of our friends will know that Nat & I have a habit of taking self-timer photos at strategic times/locations during our life. This was a trend which started on one of our early trips together -- down to the coast from Canberra almost exactly 14 years ago. (Yes, no typo, that really was 14 years!) The photo in question was taken at Pooh-Bear Corner, a particular hairpin bend part-way down the Clyde where a small cave by the roadside has been adorned with a couple of reflectors and a few sacred offering to Pooh-Bear for as long as I can remember. Of course, this was the pre-digital age, so I have scanned in the photo to reproduce on this blog. Note the youthful complexion(s), unusual choice of trousers and impractical haircuts.

I guess a few things have changed, not in the least the number of Pooh-Bear replicas now inhabiting the cave, the gradual expansion of our clan, and the advent of digital photography, which allows us to check one's hair is not in one's eyes ...
