We just recently completed the excursion using podcasts to learn about 4 historical sites in Bendigo: the old gaol, Sacred Heart cathedral, statues in the CBD and Victoria Hill mining site. We skipped the Joss House, as 4 places is more than enough.
Thanks to the folks at Future Connections for showing us through the gaol, and to the teachers who supervised. Here’s just one photo – of Macauley giving John Quick (one of Federation architects) some loving attention.
Dear Dave,
I have noticed that you are publishing full size photos to this blog. For example the photo above is 1,909 KB and 2272 x 1704 pixels large!
Using a fantastic free program see:

I did a quick screen capture of the image from your Blog and it reduced the size to only 29 KB and 303 x 227 pixels
You could also use another free program IrFanVew to resize the image before you upload it. See my IrFanVew notes online at:
Click to access IrfanView-15.pdf
They explain how to resize and crop images.
All the best,
Rupert.
