With the annual 1000km race around Mount Panorama racetrack at Bathurst in New South Wales having just been run, I thought it timely to post this shot taken back in 2004. On our big trip around Australia, I could not go past a visit to the iconic racetrack. Most of the year, the whole track is public roads. On this particular day, there just happened to be a hillclimb meeting in progress, and I was fascinated to see cars going the opposite way on the track to the usual race direction.This area of the track is known as "skyline" for obvious reasons. The Holden sign is the other icon and sadly passes into history now the Holden brand name is no longer with us with manufacturing of General Motors' Holden now ended in Australia.
I didn't quite fit in the whole name of this part of the track on the wall - it is fully known as Brock's skyline, in reference to the legendary racing driver Peter Brock, another Aussie icon.
For the record, the next day, we did our own hot laps of the track, but sadly we were very strictly limited to the local speed limits which at the time were 60 kilometres an hour right round the track - so our hot lap was 6 minutes and 30 seconds. The race speed at this part is usually around 180 and the lap times just 2 minutes and 5 seconds! We found it scary enough here just doing 60!

Jasper gives Ceph, his pet octopus, a daily workout. And Ceph always takes it in stride with a happy face.
It has been raining for a few days and forecast for more rain most of the coming week. What better time for an Aussie Mudbowl rematch!!! Besides, gotta burn that energy off rain or shine!!!
(FYI, everybody won!!! ...except Mom & Dad and the towels)

What can be more iconic than the kookaburra is for Australia. He is enshrined in song, verse and in Australian folklore. If you remember the early days of TV when the old Tarzan movies were around, you would remember hearing an odd sounding bird that sounded like a human laughing. Yep, you guessed it right, its the kookaburra.
I can recall after our first night in Australia we were awakened by the sound of something that sounded like a monkey laughing. Our young son had the answer when he said, "That's a kookaburra, the laughing bird." He did his research.
Anyway, we have five of this great birds that every morning start their laughing at the earliest hint of light. The laughing continues as they get closer and closer and finally they are on the fence behind our window singing in the new day, and waiting for a morning handout.
You still see them.

The artist, 32-year-old Adelaide man Peter Drew, has form when it comes to challenging Australia’s views on immigration. Lots of these posters were plastered all over the country with faces of Australians from different generations and of different origins with the word “Aussie”.
This is a quiet bush road near my house, the trees are absolutely amazing!!! If you have not been to Australia I am not sure you will fully understand the feast of the senses that the Aussie bush provides. Standing alone in the bush at sunrise you see the subtleness of the colours, the greys and greens, the sounds of the birds and wildlife...... the condensation dripping.....
and the incredible smell of the native Eucalypt forests that imprints a memory that will last forever... Happy Australia Day!
Echo and Jax running between the vines at Cobbler Mountain Cellars - You can just see Jax in hot pursuit of Echo - I think it frustrates him a bit, no longer being able to catch up - but he is 10 and she is just a young whippersnapper of two. Fast as Echo is, I don't think she would have caught Jax back in his prime. It was a super cold day for April, so the dogs were THRILLED, and their humans were bundled up and still shivering.
This Australian Shepherd thought it might be funny to stick his tongue out during photo time. I mean every photo we took of him, he stuck his tongue out. Apparently he does this all the time, just one more quirky thing dogs do.
O.K. We don't all drink beer. And when they make coffee, they really make coffee! Almost looks too fancy to consume.
I took this while walking in the bush with the grandkids.Gums(eucalyptus trees ) tend to drop large limbs at any time.the dead limbs become homes for lizards ,snakes,insects,an small marsupials,the trees them selves are home to parrots, small birds,koalas,reptiles,and insects.

The koala is one of the two native animals that Australia is known for. This little fella was walking across a bridge and escaped up a tree before I could take his photo. But, he seemed to pose for me. Hope you enjoy!
Deany came to visit today for another long overdue ‘play date’ … I suggested he bring along his lovely Ms Kenton, (from the original Australian seller,) as I wanted her to meet my two new swirl ponytails;- a lemon blonde and a brunette, who are both Aussie gals too! They came with their OSSs, shoes and boxes with price stickers from Myer, (which back then was called Myer’s, and is kinda like Macy’s in the US,) the very same big–city department store where I used to buy all my Barbies when I was a kid! The price was 27 shillings/6 pence, (roughly $2.75.) I also wanted to show Deany my two new Pak ‘Go Everywhere’ silk sheath dresses, in red and turquoise blue, (I bought the emerald green one that Ms Kenton is wearing quite a while ago.) I also have the lemon yellow one arriving next week, and have the gold version NRFP, (also pictured here.) We thought they looked like some snazzy early Sixties girl group ;- Ladies and gentlemen, presenting ‘The Swirl Girls’! hehe…
Well a new Aussie .. she enjoying the spirit of the day .

We went to a great Aussie meet up this weekend where the dogs got to try dock diving and play in a large fenced off leash area. Utah, the flying Aussie pictured, was the king of the flying leaps with absolutely no hesitation. Maybe one day Echo will give this a go - we are still working on getting her to go in deep enough to actually swim....
Dash and Jasper look on as we consumed our Easter dinner with friends. Yes, they got a taste of ham. But after the meal.
So you're probably asking, Todd, you bring your camera to the Easter dinner table? To which I respond, Yes. What of it! 😜
(Or should that be, “On Rock” 😜) Jasper enjoyed our early Saturday morning hike at South Mountain Park. It was expensive for us though, with all his modeling fees
I love this one, The clouds are so intimidating, Also there is a little helicopter mixed in, you should zoom & wait for it to load :)
