it's the season for the red flowering gum...

The red flowering gum is a popular feature in the summer streetscape...
lining the kerbside or islands of roadways... framing car parks....
This gum is one of several framing the Rosebud Hospital car park...

Today was a very grey day...but still the flowers were beautiful...

Eleanora...

On 2 December 2003, a plaque was unveiled at the Mornington Peninsula Hospital Rosebud,
commemorating the generosity of David Cairns
who bequeathed this limestone home 'Eleanora' (above)
and nine acres of land to the Alfred Hospital as a retreat for its nurses.
The Rosebud hospital was built on the site in 1961,
and today the hospital has extended behind this homestead on Point Nepean Road, Rosebud.
The plaque is located at the homestead entrance.

A Peninsula Hospital

An old cottage that has now been incorporated into the small Rosebud Hospital complex on the Mornington Peninsula.
Rosebud Hospital is a public hospital which opened in 1961.
It is the only public hospital on the southern end of the penisula.
The rambling Frankston Hospital stands at the gateway to the peninsula.


A small hospital
Yearns to find identity
To find some presence
