Guruwal (the Whale) rooftop Weathervane - Mosman Australia,a photo by VIVA Anderson. This Whale weathervane, circa 1895, celebrates the Whale, here in maritime Mosman by the
sea. The 'ancients' owners/aboriginal people, tell stories about the whale and their Dreamtime, and so I honour their history, as does this whale weathervane........It is perched
on top of the shops along Military Road - our lovely shopping centre composed of small,
elegant boutiques...Mosman is a 'destination' for visitors to Sydney...and I can see this
from my window along the promenade. The wind is coming from the North today...........

A nice description to accompany this photo - I did not realise there was a whale on top until I finished reading.
