Looking back over the Years
Old Covers of The National Geographic Magazine.
While at Motorola in the 1970s, Martin Cooper invented the first handheld cellular mobile phone, as distinct from the car phone, in 1973 and led the team that developed it and brought it to market in 1983.
Martin Cooper makes the world's first public mobile phone call in New York on 3 April 1973.
On 3 April 1973 Cooper and Mitchell demonstrated two working phones to the media and to passers-by prior to walking into a scheduled press conference at the New York Hilton. Standing on Sixth avenue near the Hilton, Cooper made the first handheld cellular phone call in public from the prototype DynaTAC.
Hi Hola.
That brings back memories that are now not allowed in WA the Aussie back yard garden and burning rubbish in the incinerator! Now totally banned here in Perth. But I don't think some people know about that law!!
9th May, 1901 The opening of Australia's First Parliament.
Duke and Duchess of York who became King George V and Queen Mary.
the present Queen's grandparents.
The media were not such a nuisance back then, not so many photos with flashing lights!
Then in 1927 another couple with the same Title Duke and Duchess of York opened Australia's Parliament. Later becoming King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, parents of our present Queen. This was taking place a year after Princess Elizabeth was born.
And Dame Nellie Melba sang the National Anthem.
MAY those who enter this open door govern with justice, reason and equal favour to all. May they do so in humility and without self interest. May they think and act nationally.”
It could be argued that many parliamentarians have failed to live up to these words, delivered by prime minister Stanley Bruce at the opening of the first parliament to sit in Canberra on May 9, 1927.
Even on that day there was a sign that part of Australia had been all but ignored by most politicians, in fact, ignored by most Australians. Standing on the steps were two raggedly dressed indigenous men. One was Jimmy Clements, also known as King Billy or Nangar, the other was John Noble, known as Marvellous.
Remember this at school?
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloudby William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. 
Turntables how they changed over the years!
this next one is exactly the same as the one my parents purchased for my 13th birthday!
Looking back over the years we have this situation I guess it is called modern history!

Learn't about Mary about 40 years ago and it was an eye opening about health.
Guess I should not have placed it next to the Meters Ovens and talking about Sunday Lunch but it is worth thinking about.
