I’m Ron Farmer and I live in Canberra, ACT Australia. This blog is about family and friends and whatever else I might find interesting. If you need more excitement go to Lauren’s Tumblr. More interesting stuff at “And This is what her Nanna says”And remember, I never said I could spell and now you’ll have to be able to read the Queens English as well as the American and Australian corruptions of same.

But here is a little story of what it&#8217;s all about. 91 years young, Ray joined us just before Martin Place. He had a cane this year because the walk was difficult last year. After Town Hall he tripped and went down. With a little help he was up and continued to the applause from the crowd. Another 300 metres to the end he trudged, where he got attention from<br/> the ambulance people. This is what it&#8217;s all about.</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48828148263http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48828148263Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:15:58 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ead79c9b5bca5e07b53320643934d01f/tumblr_mls4bsEXwL1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pre march beer</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48800608565http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48800608565Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:43:04 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b6fd21682806b1cd1ba52c34670dd1ae/tumblr_mls2an8CrT1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mandatory bacon and eggs on toast before the march</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48797437074http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48797437074Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:59:11 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8fa9eca6c7f80bf86b124542f4752df9/tumblr_mls0zt4kN11qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>6:30</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795606790http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795606790Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:31:04 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/99f28c22c6f09093008551d77fbc0d11/tumblr_mls0xtRMUw1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The first manly ferry</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795510956http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795510956Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:29:52 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f1cca929fc0d512d32bd79da3e2f8c06/tumblr_mls0x1dY751qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sunrise</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795477189http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48795477189Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:29:23 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fe1861c54f084559d99874893d05135a/tumblr_mlrzvcFMqv1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>6 AM Anzac Day Sydney harbour</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48793794728http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/48793794728Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:06:48 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5021b703389daa725dbac29214810981/tumblr_mlrz1z864f1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Anzac Day 2013.

An appeal to you, my lovely internet friends. </p> <p>As you know, I’m headed to the Arctic this summer for 6 weeks as the Photographer in Residence on board the MS Expedition. Still so crazy. I really, really need a zoom lens so I can bring you back some photos of those polar bears and adorable Arctic puffins. I also desperately need a back-up camera body in case mine breaks. As a freelancer, I’m not really in a position where I can easily afford such things. So…</p> <p>I’m selling prints of some of my Antarctica photos for 3 weeks only. There’s 20 prints available of each (there’s 10 featured here, but 18 total at Etsy), all offered in 5 sizes. These are some of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken, and hope you dig them too. </p> <p>Order somethin’ today and get 20% off with code PENGUINS. </p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/laurenfarmer" target="_blank">Lauren’s Antarctica Prints on Etsy</a></p> <p>Thanks thanks thanks, you’re wonderful. </p> </blockquote> <p>If anyone would like one or more fantastic photos of Lauren’s recent trip to Antarctic and help her for her next one please read her post.</p>http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/45970769216http://rfarm.tumblr.com/post/45970769216Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:25:13 +1100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/da4b3c55c95a314f8c478a14a12b8cd3/tumblr_mjfo7vd5He1qzqoe7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>For those overseas this is Rambo “the big merino” in Goulburn NSW.
