I didn't know that Darwin was in Australia. I found his observation interesting. I actually like the lighting in Jolley's plaque; it's very dramatic. I'm glad you included it; I found her story fascinating and inspiring. <br />I must admit I missed this plaque while in Sydney. Keith and I were probably in awe of the sights that we failed to look at what we were stepping on.
