Richmond Bridge in Tasmania, Australia. I visited this bridge as a young kid but didn't take any photos. Seeing this photo makes me wanna go back to Tasmania. This bridge was built in the 1820s by convicts.....  |

Astor was an Australian company best known for their radios. They also made TV sets. These days, Australia doesn't manufacture anything....  |

....and after posting pictures by others, here's one by me, which I took last month using the Kodak Brownie No. 2, a camera sold from 1901 to 1935. It was a cheap camera, often marketed towards kids.  |

A transistor radio that was made in Australia. I want one. I used to have a "Mickey Mouse" 2 Transistor radio when I was a kid....circa 1963. It was about 4" high, 3" wide and the antenna came out the center of Mickey's head. It was awesome cause at nightime it would pick up a station in Wheeling, West Virginia.......about 700 miles away !!! |

Which reminds me, Astor got in trouble because they sold a Mickey Mouse themed radio (I think during the 30s or 40s)....without bothering to ask Walt Disney for permission. Oh dear..... |
