This is Button. His family decided he was ready to be left home alone for the first time today. As it turns out, freedom can be a little awkward. 12/10 (TT: beginningwithbutton)

Today’s historic pic: The very first electric train to carry passengers in Sydney departed Central station for Oatley exactly 100 years ago today on March 1 1926. To celebrate, here's a pic of a Sydney single deck suburban electric train arriving at Redfern, NSW, February 2 1985.

Some final photos of the v-set. Had my last ride to work yesterday - just as well. It was so crowded today for the last trip, they skipped my stop. #commuting #nswtrains www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Over view of Yamba main beach taken from southern headland. About half way to low tide with waves breaking into the curve of the beach. A few people in the water and some umbrellas and cabanas on the beach.
