Thanks AB! The Will Daley election poster fragment by the lane, is clear in the original prints of the photo - which I saw when choosing my Christmas present: www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet/5476045214/ www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet/5476050098/ I've now gathered together so many photographs with Will Daley election posters, it has necessitated the creation of a second part to the gallery. I'm certain there are more to find! [http://www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet/galleries/72157626241607052/]

If Will Daley was standing in the upcoming NSW election, would you vote for him?

By my calculations this is near the NW corner of Little Essex Street.

1. beachcomber australia As a young and idealistic first time candidate, personally well-known and highly respected by the people of his electorate, I certainly would, whether or not his party was disintegrating around him. But then again, if W. E. Johnson was running too, I'd be in a bit of a dilemma, as I'd likely know him through our mutual interest in photographing Sydney (he'd likely be a contact on Flickr!) :) 2. beachcomber australia A quick consult of The Plan Showing the "Rocks" Resumption confirms your calculations are spot on. The lane is Little Essex Street running down towards Upper Fort Street.

1. pellethepoet Ha! I don't think I would trust W.E. Johnson as a pollie - it is difficult to trust someone who has a tendency to date his artworks a little earlier than they are! 2. pellethepoet Beg to differ - the laneway (for which I know you have a special fondness and fascination) is the dotted line marked on the map between 91 and 89 (it is not easy to read). I wonder if John Degotardi Junior (the photographer) was joking with his title "95 1/2"?

Aboriginal people made use of the trees by eating the roots of young plants and by consuming secretions from the trunk that were induced by wounds.[36] Fibre obtained from the species was used to make nets.[37] The leaves have also been used for fodder,[36] and Queensland farmers often leave bottle trees as a potential food source when land is cleared.[3] During drought conditions, whole trees have been felled to feed stock. The soft edible pulp inside the trunk is exposed by removing the bark.[36] The pulp is energy-rich but protein-poor, and occasional cases of nitrate poisoning have led to cattle deaths.
