Which one.

My heart says this one.















My head says this one.

Oh what to do!

Build a bridge.

What is it about bridges that I find so appealing? Even the simplest one are interesting to me.

I found this one yesterday while out walking around Prince Henry Drive, a local tourist drive around the range escarpment here in Toowoomba.

More Autumn walking

The Summer rain we have enjoyed here in Toowoomba has certainly made it an especially sweet time to go for a good long walk now the Autumn flowers are here.





























Gordonia axillaris (renamed Franklinia axillaris, but still known and sold as Gordonia axillaris)















Random Dahlia in an abandon front yard.















Coral vine has been one of my favorites ever since I became interested in gardening.












Rustic. I like fences and posts with random vegetation covering them.


























I'm beginning to feel my frustration of not being able to take a half decent photo take over the rational half of my thinking. Because giving the credit card a max out to buy a good camera is becoming very appealing to me right now.

I see Canon have some nice cameras out.
This one looks interesting (PowerShot SX200 IS). And it has full HD movie capacity.

















Cheers and Happy Easter,

Stewart.

A bit more Autumn

A bit more Autumn.

I guessing a bit here but I think these are the flowers of our local rain forest Black Bean tree.
I'll know for sure when it starts to produce its bean pods which can grow up to 20cm long and 30/40cm's in diameter.
It is certainly showing the benefits of the 200+ml of rain we had earlier this month.

Speaking of rain we had a few storms rumble through here last night and gave everything a good watering for Easter and it looks like I have managed to secure the Houdini chooks so with a little good luck over Easter I'll be able to get some good gardening happening.

Happy Easter everyone and keep safe.

Cheers
Stewart.

You got to love Autumn.

While I was out walking the big block (see below) I took a few photos in celebration of Autumn. Just wish I had a better camera. (Working in it though)

Mt, Tabletop

Its been two weeks now since I walked/climbed/scrambled Mt. Tabletop after a month or so of training walks for my fitness.

Unfortunately I was still a fair bit underdone and found the walk/scramble very tough and exhausting. Recovery for me has taken a full two weeks with a flare up of my colitis thrown it too boot (I'm finding anytime I exert myself it causes me problems with my colitis).


A few videos from my moby phone show the view from the top of Mt. Tabletop.

This one is looking back down to the camel hump that you need to cross to get to Tabletop itself.

While I found it tough and exhausting I have been self inspired to continue on my path of walking and exploring with a ever increasing list of walks I'd like to do.

One thing I have been thinking of doing is to go to the highest (Mt Kosciusko), lowest (lake
Eyre 15m below sea level), most easterly (Byron Bay, NSW), westerly (Steep Point, WA), northerly (Cape York, Qld) and southerly, mainland (Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse, Victoria) southerly ( South East Cape, Tas) parts of Australia.
