I love RMNP. I spent about five years living in Boulder in my years BC (before children) and hiked there many times. I miss it a lot and now live about four to five hours drive away from any alpine territory.Originally Posted by Amelia
my dream place!!
I am really glad to meet you here. I could imagine how much mesmerizing time you may had there. I am also a fan of this place and would love to be there to dip my toes in.
Isn't it cool guys???
Hang gliding in Cairns;
Technically, I believe that's para-gliding, but cool pictures.
Wet season in the tropics:
I knew one Grandmother well, but never met the other and only knew her as Ninny. So I used that as an excuse for a road trip. I would take my first break in 8 years and go to the other side of the state, where Dad's people come from, and find out her name from her head stone, before I dropped dead, myself.
Get there, and there is only one person with the right surname in Pinnaroo cemetery. He was probably my grandfather, given dates and ages, but the whole situation is weird. I think Dad had 5 or 6 siblings and I think most of them stayed in the area. Where are all those people?
But I had a good trip. Saw some interesting terrain, covered 1500ks in the 3 days, and for some reason my joints haven't felt this good for 11 years.
Not a lot of interest to anyone but me ... but
When I first saw this I thought it was miles away and wondered about the odd, very blue mist obscuring those mountains.
It was about 2ks away, and they are storing grain differently these days.
Got a much better idea of why the Mallee periodically sends Melbourne airborne presents of beautiful red topsoil.
Finally, I used to work in a Post Office. Security was a big thing. Had to take a photo of this because you could break into it with a tin opener.
Turns out I still can't upload a photo. I'll have another shot but ... use your imaginations.
Beautiful!
Magnetic Island.
Wild weather.
