Probably taken in 2000 with the Canon 500n and subsequently scanned. It's the sticker on the old petrol bowser that was at the tourist resort I worked at. The Matilda Highway runs from Cunnamulla in southern Qld up through Charleville, Barcaldine, Longreach, Winton, the 'clurry, Normanton and ends in Karumba.

A genuine Aussie Antique Prison Dunny :rofl: :whistle:

not a very good shot but - how about roadside kitsch? I wish i had a photo of a tyre swan or something like that! (in my film collection I have many such pics - but alas to lazy to scan them) tho it does have agapanthe's in the shot!

But will have to do with an aussie "BIG...." roadside attraction - I think only the U.S is the only other country who does this?
Who invented it?
anyway 'The BIG LOBSTER" from a roadtrip in SE SA, located at Kingston SE

have attatched a second shot - not for comp - but to show what we could see when i woke up looking out the window of motel - now I know how those poor people felt when confronted with godzilla and mothra felt - eerie! :scared:

Black Spur Mountain Ash forest near what used to be the historic town of Fernshaw, Victoria. Once was thought to be home to the tallest tree in the world. Logging soon fixed that though. Still makes for a wonderful walk or drive.

Edit: photo taken 17 Sep 2006 about 3pm, somewhere along the walking track from Fernshaw picnic area heading towards Narbethong.

The great Aussie nuisance on the Aussie fence!!

[Dujon]

Come on, be honest, who has not swung on one of these?

Some good interpretations again this month, but with the number of entries down from the usual, maybe it wasn't as easy a subject as you would think.

However, here's my take.

There is nothing much more Australian than a Koo-koo-koo-koo-kookaburra on a post and wire fence, around a paddock.

Taken on Sunday Oct 22nd 06 at Blackbutt, Canon 300D and 400 lens, 1/400 at f7.1. ISO 200

I took this photo of our Australian native plant the bottlebrush on 29th October.
I looked up it proper name in our gardening book and it's called CALLISTEMON.

Hello,

What a collection of Australiana….Sun, Sea, Surf, Sand, a Kangaroo, Echidna, Wombat, Tassie Devil, Koala and Platypus! All under a big, bold, blue sky. :whistle: :whistle:

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it! :camera:

Cheers
