Nice set @robcrank68.bsky.social These are rather ordinary shots of two of our native pigeons. The Crested Pigeon and the Common Bronzewing

The movie has good character moments too. It doesn’t have the same depth but it is a wholesome, fun movie & still addresses the issues of ageist assumptions & aging challenges, in a positive way

That’s all it has been called as far as I am aware. It was just a railway siding for years and then became a hotel for drovers and truckies, until it became a tourist destination.There is nothing else there except a water tank and the railway.
