Ça va? Oui, ça va. Le Tour goes on ...

.
Stage 1 : Kangaroo Flat, circa 1956
Uncropped photo by mum. Taken at the lotus gates, which she designed. Dad about to dink me to school on his way to the pharmacy. He with Gladstone bag on the handrail, me with leather satchel over shoulder.



Stage 2 : Bendigo, circa 1979
By then my brother M is a pharmacist at the Queen Victoria hospital, Swanston Street. He has arranged a storeman job there for me; so with swag and case I'm off to Melbourne (on the train) then to cycle through the traffic to and from work each day.



Stage 3 : Yesterday, in the rain, at "Bonzaview"
Same bike as above. Now I watch the world slowly tour through it.
