Port Block, New South Wales
—Richard Parsons
Here is a wonderful site devoted to a minifig colony in New South Wales,
Australia, circa 1820. More than 130 images (all with thumbnails) are
accompanied by extensive narratives—and there’s even a poem (with inside
jokes). Several of the pages have auto-loading sound effect files, but they
are short and pleasant, and they actually add rather than detract from the
“atmosphere” of the pages. The photography and image editing is excellent,
and the pages are all relatively fast-loading, considering the overall size
of the site (more than 20 pages).
If you’re a Colin & Wanda fan (heck, even if you’re not a Colin & Wanda fan!),
check out the eight-page story detailing their visit to Port Block in late
1999—it was quite an experience for them!
