The Hills Hoist was invented by Lance Hill in 1945. It was a staple piece of backyard furniture in the 60's and 70's. Today they are considered one of Australias most recognisable icons and even featured in the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Today however, our washing lines are hidden away on south facing walls, away from the glamour of modern day garden design.I loved rounding a corner in many Italian towns to be greeted by the washing, happily flapping in the breeze.How can someone elses washing make you smile? I guess that's why we love to visit far away lands, their customs and quirkiness for the everyday is such a delight.
Today was fine and sunny in Perth so my washing
dried...I hope that yours did too.
Talk to you soon. Andrina x
