Part of History



It is interesting to be a part of history.

The picture shows the ravages of time and also the destruction of vandalism. My childhood and youth, along with my Father, Cousins, and Great Uncle, had many hours were spent at this site. The memories of fuelling the boiler, operating the small steam pump, loading eucalyptus leaves into the 4 circular vats, the pipes running through the condenser tank, the steam flowing through the leaves and capturing the eucalyptus which was then cooled back to liquid, and most of all the wonderful smells.

In deed my childhood and youth was a rich experience!



Ephesians 1:9-10 (NIV)
And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

What wondeful memories this brings back, and yes I remember those great smells. I enjoyed my time there, maybe no the work, but more especially the time spent with your family.
