That's one you wouldn't drop on your foot for sure.
Looks like the vineyard is into the bike scene too, did you make the ST Judes Thunder at the Creek a couple of months back? Some of their wines sound great too....place to visit on the bucket list I think.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Looks a lot like Mt Wellington in Hobart - but there were more rocks about - seemingly.

The rocks are still there.  Couldn't fit them in a pic of a big bike and big pole thingy!

Ummm.... as there is no thread for STs in front of SMALL things - you'll have to work with me on this one.....       :butt

Sighted between Gladstone and Gin Gin (Qld)....




I thought this was at Carmila south of Mackay...........


You are, of course, exactly correct Sab.      :thumbs

Sometimes the positions of things are hazy when you see 10,000 things on a ride as to exact locations.

Here is the Google version of it at Carmila....

Have been trying to get this shot for a couple of month's now. Actually even before I got my ST...

So today it all lined up nicely, They were actually standing at the fence when I stopped but as I got off the bike they moved away but alas I got the shot.

I pass these two funny looking creatures every couple of weeks on my round trip from Young to Temora and back visiting my Daughter.

Ok technically this shot belongs here.

As it is the shadow cast of my mighty ST upon the earth - therefore it is an ST infront of a really really BIG THING.

I may be biased but this would be the best photo I have ever taken. Still can't believe how well this came out in the setting sunlight.

Here's the bike in front of rail bridge crossing taken 29th January 2009 just after the newly sealed 90km section between Karratha and Tom Price was opened.



Several weeks later a passing cyclone dumped some rain and the result was the picture below. The conrete ford crossing built to take the weight of triple and quad trailered road trains didn't last long. The height of the water also washed out (so I was told) the rail track on the lower bridge (25 feet +/-) as just behind me the water has to make a turn to the left.

Location http://goo.gl/maps/UNj15

This one was taken 21st June 2009. To open the road again they bull dozed the rubble etc to make a one lane crossing. We went along here a few months after this and the repairs had been completed, no doubt a little better than before.

Just shows the power of masses of water!  Whatever we build soon buckles when Nature throws some effort at it.

It was fun zooming out click by click, getting a feel for the isolation of that location, and putting it in perspective with the rest of WA.  Big country out there!!

We never felt isolated up there though in terms of distance from any where it is.

And now for something completely different. Two STs next to a very small thing, Australias smallest P.O.
I will leave it up to you guys to figure out where it is...

Yep, thats it. On the Burns point ferry road, between Ballina and Wardell. A very pretty part of my neck of the woods.
