A pile of broken coupler knuckles, under the trainmaster's office window, bears witness to the challenge of moving tonnage trains over undulating territory.
See, Daisy darling? Several bites in....and your lipstick is still intact. And don't worry...I'll make sure you get lots and LOTS of practice from here on out. 😊
Walking back to Surfers along the beach front.
History of Surfer Parades
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

As Lesson 2 rolled around the amount of drama dwindled as the girls concentrated on creating family films to appeal to a wider audience.
The judges were disappointed as it seemed the girls all were fairly lackluster in this challenge. However Dotti's bold move of doing "Maxine: The Movie" earned her praise and for the second week in a row Pinkie and Kaitlyn were in the top three. While Summer, Sy'Rai and Angelique found themselves in the bottom three.
Kaitlyn won the challenge and received immunity as well as a prize for her hard work. Surprisingly no one was expelled since Lorelei and Marielle abruptly dropped out of Star School.

So here's the light painting fail I've been talking about in the last few photos. It's not horrible, but it didn't turn out how I imagined it. (It's possible that nothing turns out like I imagine, and that's been true so far, but I'm always trying to get as close as I can) My test shot was a little over exposed, and I went to far trying to compensate for that. (the spiral, along with the whole scene isn't bight enough) Every fail is a lesson learned in my eyes, so it wasn't all for nothing. We've had some rain, and more of the snow is gone from the lake, so I'll have to come up with a new way to make a spiral and try again.

As lesson six rolled around the girls were to come up with Signature Scents. Devin, Pinkie and Sy'Rai's scents got top praise from the judges. While Kaitlyn, Maddie and Nikki fell into the bottom three. However things got heated at the eliminations as the girls questioned the judges choices and of all people, Victoria snapped at the judges and read them cover to cover. Fed up with her attitude, Sabrina shocked everyone by eliminating Victoria and bringing the group of nine down to just seven.

Seven girls remain. Who will be expelled next?

Of all the dogs I tend to in the jungle
Leroy is in a class all by himself.....
One minute he is a complete dysfunctional idiot.
Next he is saving me from a brutal monkey attack !
Every time Leroy comes to mind I just smile and shake my head.
The other day I told Leroy I was going to teach him some "Math" ..
He thought I said "Bath"..So he jumped into the swamp ..........;-)
..........................................................................................................
Didn't make it to any of the jungle dogs today.
...... Hoping for tomorrow .....;-)
Thank You.

Lois was the last one I had to shoot for the day. And since she had nothing on after, and because I didn’t have a time limit to work within after her shoot, we decided to have more fun with the makeup we put together.
Lessons we’ve learnt today:
1)Red food dye stains your skin pretty bad, not to mention contact lenses.
2)Ground coffee makes an excellent alternative to soil. It made my hands smell good too.
3)We tend to scare ourselves with our overactive imaginations, especially when trying out different shots with the makeup she had on.
4)I remember now why I always say I love working with theatre actors the most, they give you almost anything you ask for flawlessly.
5)Lois and I are like cool bananas and awesome sauce put together, we had a whole heap of fun.
Dear Rajashree, Sheena and Lois, you girls are fantastic and I’m so glad you are willing to go through this craziness for me. Thanks to you guys I’ve gotten enough material to work on with the shoots over the weekend, though it was done seemingly rushed.
This isn’t part of the series but Lois and I loved it so much we had to share.
