One Tree Hill

[ourkind (Carlos)]

Skies cleared on Sunday night so I took off late for a drive over the Blue Mountains. Found myself heading towards Oberon via the Jenolan Caves, before turning around and heading home just before Monday morning peak hour.

Thanks for looking

[iceman (Mike)]

That's awesome

Super shot Carlos well done

Great location, and execution Carlos, only critic is maybe its a little too cool/blue

[Larryp (Laurie)]

Nice result, Carlos!

Cheers Mike! I tried once I got as far as bending me knees to pick the 100kg ball, and that was as far as I got! That's me on the left

Very iconic shot Carlos, I like it. Certainly has an art feel to it.

He he very cool when was that taken..? Got any more photos from the day? Love to see'em if you do

Here's me at Darling Harbour carrying 220kg 25m in nearly the exact same spot

My shoulder popped out again just looking at that Mike. Did any little Italian eggs pop out too?

Great shot Carlos (the one tree one).

No but after 25m it had grazzed and bruised the hell out'a my upper inner thigh. The organisers had the top edges of the block trimmed and sanded down for subsequent comps, thank god

Your wish is my command

It must have been taken around 88 or 89 I remember Darling Harbour just being built. (just noticed the date stamp 30/06/89)

This is Iñaki Gil, in his day he was one of the strongest Basque men around. You can see him here lifting a 100kg ball with one hand, afterwards he spun it around his neck several times (using both hands).

Do you recognise the big guy on the left of the last photo? David Foster Aussie Wood Chopping Champion, not any more but he was unbeatable for a very long time.

Enjoy
