dewlineWhen I was a kid, I used to get a kick out of seeing license plates from all manner of different places. (IE: different from wherever it was I happened to live at the time.)
So, a month or so ago, I was in Nanaimo for a relative's wedding, and someone else in the family had the idea of taking me to this place off across the strait from the Nanaimo shoreline called the Dinghy-Dock Pub. It got the name from the fact that its front doors open onto a dock for boats of various sizes that visit or are home-ported at Protection Island. They need their oven propane delivered by barge. Customers arrive either by passenger ferry or their own boats.
The Dinghy-Dock's not the only establishment that likes to decorate its walls with license plates, but this one in particular caught my attention. My partner on Local Hero, Ian Gould, calls this particular Australian state home.
Not his license plate, though.
