Compost: Stage 1

Waste

The kitchen scraps go in the compost, rather than waste them.

Foundation Stone

Found

Following the decision to found the federal capital of the Commonwealth of Australia at the present site of Canberra, a foundation stone was laid on Capital Hill. Many years later it had to be moved to make way for the new Parliament House.

Television Time Wasters

Waste

I hate that show "Two and a Half Men" and consider it to be a HUGE waste of time!

A Lawyer, a Car and Two Friends

Ed Whalan

Portrait

I met Marc Roberts at our year Seven swimming carnival, when he approached me and said "I think we should be friends". That was in February 1987. Now, 20 years on, Marc is a successful business lawyer living in Brisbane. His car is a 1977 Holden HZ. It is consistent with his continuing attempts to rebel against society and his place in it. The HZ was bought new by his Dad in 1977 and garaged in 1990 awaiting the 17 years and the lawyer’s salary it took to get it back on the road. The two components of this image were photographed the day it was re-registered and on the eve of its maiden trip to Brisbane.

Found, Waste

Look what I found, maybe it's just waste ... I can't decide.

Seeking Solitude

Lorna Sim

Found

It was one of those days when your mind is in turmoil and you need to seek total solitude for some serious self-reflection. I headed off to Lake Burley Griffin on the Western Park side. This is what I found — some solitude with seagulls keeping their distance and their peace. It was nearly 8pm, but there was still some light left and a light drizzle of rain as well.

Gary's Garage

Kerry Baylor
Waste

Gary is a neighbour. His garage looks like a waste dump, but to him everything is a possible scientific experiment.
