"The man in this poster is Monga Khan who lived and worked in Australia. He was one of thousands of people who applied for exemptions to the White Australia Policy. Cameleers were granted exemptions because their work was essential to the Australian economy. For 70 years they played a crucial role... I'd like to celebrate their contribution to Australia. "

Lia Vansevenant of the Wildcats ladies in action yesterday. She'll be in Aussie next year, and I am sure she will do well there.
It was an early morning visit to Yankee Hat and the fog had set in. This was the first day testing the new D4 and D800 cameras. This particular shot was with the D800 and 400mm VR F2.8. The kangaroos were active and quite frisky so there were plenty of little boxing matches going on. www.brucelevick.com
Gutted my car broke down on the way over to Santa Pod Friday lunch time then unfortunately the Aussie Outlaw put a hole through a piston in the evening on a 6.7 second pass so I never actually saw the car run.
The car and team have been visiting from Australia having had lots of help from a crown funder and the Banshee Racing team. This was the first Outlaw Anglia to run a 6 second pass and they added a few more 6 second runs while visiting Santa Pod including a quickest ever side by side with Colin Millar also running a 6 at Summer Nationals.
Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible and wish the team a safe trip home.
This shot was from last Thanksgiving....Just back from the groomers for their semi-annual pro grooming.... Absolutely love my two Aussie kids. They are very high energy and wouldn't have it any other way! With that energy comes a few caveats tho, like, the given fact that rain, shine, snow, heat, or lots of MUD you gotta get them a LOT of exercise!
Photos below are from the first annual 'Aussie Mud Bowl' which usually happens every spring when we have a lot of our annual rainfall and it leaves the yard, well, less than dry lol....
NJ1602, former South Australian NJ2 is stored at Forrestfield loco . Eventually it would be sold to a company in South Africa and shipped over there in early 2015
This little girl has me baffled. She has no heart on her butt (or any sign of one)and her tag reads '87 but the last 2 letters are unreadable (so not an '88 baby)She has dimples, but she is paler than my other Aussies but darker than my US boys. She seems to have the DR's style fringe.
Given his bushwacker hat, my guess is that this gentleman, pictured on the Royal Mile near Edinburgh Castle, is a visitor from Australia
This was either the mens under 17's or under19's semi final I'd think. Have stacks of different shots if anyone is looking for someone particular.

Our Australian outback comes in all shapes and colours. You can drive all day and go through many types of vegetation and scenery. This was taken from the side of the road between Cobar and Broken Hill where we stopped for a cuppa.
If those flags are anything to go by .. An American import thats been popular with Aussies for decades ,

These posters are popping up all over the city. To show that Aussies are made up of people of all different backgrounds but they are no less Aussie.

Butler is an outer suburb of Perth, Western Australia, 41 kilometres north of Perth's central business district. It is part of the City of Wanneroo local government area. It forms the majority of the Brighton Estate, a large commercial and residential development by Satterley.
Geography
Butler is bordered to the west by Jindalee and Quinns Rocks (Marmion Avenue), to the south by Merriwa and Ridgewood (Lukin Drive) and to the north by Alkimos (Butler Boulevard). The Mitchell Freeway separates Butler from the rural locality of Nowergup in the east.
2 kilometres west of Butler is the Indian Ocean.
History
Name
"Butler" was approved by the Shire of Wanneroo for the area in 1979 in honour of John Butler, the first recorded explorer of the Wanneroo and Lake Joondalup areas in 1834.
The marketing of the "Brighton Estate" in Butler by Satterley, with many amenities and establishments also adopting the "Brighton" nameplate (e.g., Brighton Village Newsagency), has led to Brighton's becoming synonymous with Butler and causing confusion amongst residents and sight-seers alike. Residents submitted a petition to the City of Wanneroo in 2003 for the suburb's name to be permanently changed to Brighton. The request was rejected on account of duplication with many other places across Australia named Brighton, as well as the name's lacking both historical and cultural significance within the area.
Suburban development
Although Butler was gazetted in 1979, it remained unpopulated bushland until the early 2000s, with no landmarks or conventional roads providing direct access to the area. The Butler-Ridgewood Agreed Local Structure Plan was approved by the City of Wanneroo in 2002, allowing early subdivision and development of the site to commence in 2003 by Satterley, the principal investor in the suburb.
Satterley's Brighton Estate plan takes up all of Butler and also extends into the neighbouring suburbs of Ridgewood, Jindalee and Alkimos. Butler contains four sub-divisional estates within the Brighton area; "The Dunes", "The Green", "Seahaven" and "Junctions North". Over $120 million was spent on landscaping, civil construction and community infrastructure to create the Seahaven and The Green estates, the Brighton Village Shopping Centre on Marmion Avenue and the Central Park Precinct.
