The Times Are-a Changin’ by Derek Jay Steen
I stumbled across this photo on Sunday when I was looking through ice cream photos on my Flickr. I had a little chuckle when I read my observant description:
This faded KFC sign at the entrance of the KFC on the Pacific Highway in Artarmon got me thinking.
KFC used to be pretty simple. Fried Chicken.
Now they offer wraps, popcorn chicken, Krushers (ice cream drinks), and many other treats to entice customers to spend more.
My Dad once told me that he used to work near this KFC, and he would go there for lunch.
Over the many years of change the shop has been redecorated and renovated and this sign has watched it all happen. The sun has faded its once bright colours in to dull hues that will one day fade to white.
The times are-a changin’, my friends. And the Colonel watches on as it does.

Today. Everyone is all about Australia day (tomorrow) and there are two questions everyone is asking.
“What does Australia Day mean to you”
and
“What does it mean to be Australian”
Well ummm! When I think Of Australia Day I think of thong throwing contest at the Beach. But I also think of Burning Laminations in a Scottish Schools kitchen and almost having to evacuate 1000s of screaming girls. Funnily enough the only Australia Day I really celebrated being “Australian” was when I was living in Scotland.
Seeing as I have never been anything but “Australian” I cant really answer the other without using the usual Cliche.
There are some images though that to me express “Being Australian”. So what does it mean to be an Australian to you?
