The Ultimate Australian Rail Adventure: The Ghan Experience
The above-mentioned railway line extends from the bottom (Adelaide) to the top of Australia (Darwin), and the first part was built from Adelaide heading north in the 1870s. It was gradually extended in narrow gauge to Alice Springs, the center of Australia, by 1929. Owing to the remoteness of this part of Australia, passengers wishingContinue reading “The Ultimate Australian Rail Adventure: The Ghan Experience”
Amazing Sky Colors After Sunset in Queensland
I could not ignore the absolutely amazing sky colours that my wife brought to my attention last night just after sunset. Here are a few dramatic photos to give you an idea of what it looked like, although no camera can do the scene complete justice.

My Back Garden (nearly) – Part 5
The reason I have used the above word “nearly” is that the Forest Park where the attached photos were taken is only about 1 mile (1.6k) way from my house. That is nearly in my back garden, isn’t it? The park is situated in the middle of a large (thousands of acres) pine tree plantationContinue reading “My Back Garden (nearly) – Part 5”

This means that the earth hasContinue reading “My Back Garden – Part 3”
Amazing Nature
It is early spring here in Queensland, Australia, and the world around me is, in more ways than one, buzzing with activity. Perched under the eaves of our front verandah is a pair of Flycatchers or Fantails (local name Willie Wagtail) that have made a tiny nest of very fine grasses, tightly bound by spiderContinue reading “Amazing Nature”
My Back Garden – Part 2
Here are a few more photos of what you would find in a Queensland, Australia back garden at the end of winter. As you can see, it was a beautiful day outside and when I took the photos the temperature was about 72F (22C). I tried to catch bees on the flowers as they wereContinue reading “My Back Garden – Part 2”
My Back Garden
As so many of you post photos I thought I would go into my garden and take a few photos. They are not to the quality of some of yours, but they may be different to those taken in the Northern Hemisphere. Remember, we in the Southern Hemisphere are in late winter. Now that IContinue reading “My Back Garden”
