Halloween

Halloween display at the Supermarket down the road.  It's only a small display as Halloween is not done as it's done in the USA and some other countries.  When I was younger we didn't even know about Halloween.







A little about the beginning of Halloween.

The Halloween has it's roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when poeple would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward of ghosts.

Signs

 A few Signs coming through Mowbray a suburb of Launceston on the northern side. Continuing with signs near home the southern side.  All of these photos of signs were taken with my phone and whilst moving.

This building is something to do with some kind of Care for Children, can't recall exactly.


We only have two Hungry Jacks in Launceston.  KFC we only have two as well.



These signs are on a shop or in - the above is in Rivers a clothing shop. All these signs are not far from  home.




McDonald's is known as Maccas here in Australia.



BWS is a liquor store, Beer, Wine and Spirits and is owned by the Endeavour Group.  In 2019, Woothworths the supermarket people here in Australia, (nothing to do with USA or UK) restructured it's alcoholic drinks business to form Endeavour Group.  In June 2021, the Endeavour Group was listed as separate entity on the Australian Securities Exchange.  In Australia alcohol is not permitted to be sold at the supermarkets, any of them.




Up the top of the hill to the left is home.
