Venturing to Ventura

Only two hours up the coast from LA lies Ventura -


- the old 1782 mission town.


Like so many Californian beachside town it's got its quaint old cinemas:



But how interesting is this? A Queensland Moreton Bay Fig planted here in 1874? What was the thinking behind this choice? It'd be interesting to read the 'minutes'.


"Birthplace of Perry Mason"?


That I can more readily understand.

Cheers,
