QANTAS Tails

Brisbane domestic airport at the QANTAS terminal. One of the only carriers to fly to the outback town of Mount Isa. The flying kangaroo is still going strong since taking off here in the outback many years ago. If you want to find out how many years ago, you should visit the QANTAS museum in Longreach.

Beach Sunrise

A morning view at the beach in Mooloolaba.

Green Oval

This wonderfully green oval belongs to my old high school where I grew up. My trip to the Sunshine Coast was motivated by my 20 year reunion of graduating from school. This oval brought back many memories of sports days and much reminiscing was done. The trees have grown since I was there and it looks more beautiful now.

Speed Limit

On a recent visit to the Sunshine Coast I caught up with a wonderful friend and went for a morning walk. This bird (I think it's a Kite) at the end of the rock wall seemed oblivious to the presence of the humans and numerals.

Gorge

A cool gorge and waterhole provide a shady place to rest on a warm afternoon.

Sunset Skyline

Using an underexposed foreground the colours of the sky become enhanced. However, this is still not quite as good as the eye sees it. The eye can see some of the foreground as well as the strong colours. Nothing substitutes for seeing an outback sunset for oneself.

Sunset On Mount Isa

The sunset I had trekked up the hill to see.
