Pirate ship spotted at Corryong Victoria, also the place where the Man from Snowy River museam is. (can't for the life of me see the connection).



Speaks for itself really, Very upsetting to see this closed and in a bad state too.

You're allowed to shift up to 4th during an overtaking manoeurve.  No point in spending good riding time reading the writing on the sides of vehicles.    :grin
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

Oh Biggles , how did you confuse the amount of strange letterbox's i did see with the gear i was in whilst overtaking ?  :crackup
On a serious note - did anyone get any good " letterbox " shots ?

Hard to top that one Dick - unless you have one of these......





The big cow from Yandina Qld.


Was last here when I was a teenager, and this place was buzzing as a typical iconic Sunshine Coast tourist trap.


Now - she's fairly decrepit, but still open for business.


Cheers, Diesel

What, an old Cow topping the BIG Rock you must be joking Diesel. Anyway, not to be outdone, how about the BIG Marble (AKA the Devil's Marbles) near Tennant Creek NT Tuesday 3 June 2014

This ones a little longer.....and more for you to reverse  :popcorn

I'll see Dicks Toll road train and raise it to a Shell road train which we spotted at Leonora back in 2008. I've been hesitant in posting this as the bike is not in the picture. Note triple drive bogie and triple dollies.



But I can add the second one which we took at Port Augusta just over a week ago which I've ben meaning to post.

And a little bit smaller my ST in front of two casks (Booth tanker) of wine....for all you wine lovers Pokey
