Didn't took proper making of photos from today's shoot so let it be the food photo then taken after the shoot. Burger was good, shoot even better.

Aussie Racing Cars is an Australian motor racing category. Essentially a motorcycle powered Silhouette racing car class, it was created by former touring car racer Phil Ward, influenced by the American Legends category.
The Aussie Racing Car combines current racing technology and performance in a one-design class where all cars are mechanically identical with strict rules in place to maintain that position. Five different body styles are permitted. Originally only 1940 Ford Coupé and Holden FJ body styles were available, with Ford AU Falcon and Holden VY Commodore styles which replicate V8 Supercars later made available. A Toyota Aurion body shape was launched in 2008, followed by a Holden Cruze in 2012 and a "Euro GT" in 2013.
Cars are constructed on a purpose built steel tubular space frame chassis with integral roll cage construction designed and approved to stringent engineering specifications. The lightweight composite body is a faithfully designed caricature of its full size counterpart featuring opening doors, boot and lift off front section. Powered by a 1.2 litre 125 bhp (93 kW) twin cam 16 valve engine sourced second-hand from used Yamaha FJ1200 motorcycles that revs to 11500 rpm. The 450 kg all up weight provides a high power-to-weight ratio that allows the car to reach speeds in excess of 200 km/h. Lap times achieved at Oran Park Raceway are within six seconds of a V8 Supercar. They feature fully adjustable suspension geometry, huge brakes and controlled competition tyres that produce high grip levels. All cars are hand built in the Aussie Racing Car facility and supplied ready to race.
The cockpit layout is purpose built and fitted with a five point racing harness. The steering requires only one turn lock to lock and minimal steering movement during racing. The sequential gear lever is close to the steering wheel and the carbon fibre dash displays the necessary instrumentation. The chassis design incorporates simplicity in suspension adjustment to cater for all drivers likings including castor/camber, sway bar, roll centre and ride height etc. Brakes have simple front to rear bias adjustment.

A good start to Australia Day 24 , when everything this year has been changed to down tune the nations white settlement day sadly , the 26th January 1788 . Well here's a timeless sound of a native Australian , one that has no cultural allegiance other than being an old Australian .

That's Aussie owner code for a trip to the groomer lol...
Had to get JJ (and Miss Roxy too) trimmed up after this summer of fun. Aussie owners know how crazy their undercoats can get. So much matting it sometimes takes a professional to help. ( I should go to dog grooming school...it would save me a fortune). No worries, we would never shave them down to or into the undercoat but had the feathers seriously cleaned up and styled.
We dodged the proverbial bullet with the Hurricane on the coast near Corpus and Houston but we have been getting a lot of the extreme outer rain bands. It rains off and on and some very weird lighting from the clouds. The rain has been very light here, fortunately, but a welcome relief from the late summer drought (and heat).
We got yummy coffee, little plushies, a little wooden doll and some metally threads from stardust ! Well I think the metally threads are for the naner lady.
Thanks Stardust !
Quick saturday afternoon shot in the near wood. She is a bit restless (as Aussies do), so that it required a certain number of pictures.
With rain on the way, our Nissan Altima Aussie Race Car sits on the dummy grid at the Highlands Motorsport Park on New Zealand's South Island. All of these N.Z photos were taken with my phone, so please forgive the poor quality.

Sampai jumpa di #Qatar2022!
A typical scene on an Australian farm.
Tried HDR and went for the 'natural' look. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome! Then a few weeks later (now) this texture was added. It was a bit bland by itself.....I'll keep trying
Thanks Sabby661 for your kind assistance with the HDR detail

Like I said last year, these concert shots are like mileage markers on my stream. How time flies.
The (cover) band and their show just get better.

This weeks theme for 52 weeks the 2012 Edition is LIGHT, I bought this latern and just had to use it ... love those cloudy skies we are having at the moment :) Car
On the eve of ANZAC day I figured it's good to look at what those diggers fought to protect. The Australian way of life. One of those values is poetry. Now it's funny how history sometimes unfolds. The Dog on the Tuckerbox is one of those uniquely Australian stories that gets told to you as a kid here growing up. One of the untold parts of the song is that originally the poem was about a dog who "shat" in the tuckerbox. But in what was probably the best bit of censorship many years later a writer came upon this "diddy" and decided to clean it up.
In the re-written poem he talks about the workers who ran the bullocks to make the highways and how the dog protected their lunches while they were off at work. He reflects on how one day he supposes there'll be roads of bichomen passing through here.
The ironic thing is that when I took this shot the nearby highway was recieving a major upgrade only 5 miles from Gundagai. If only Jack Moses was able to look upon this now. He'd be probably sipping into a Schooner of Ale with a sly knowing look on his face that says "I told ya!".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've done my share of shearing sheep,
Of droving and all that;
And bogged a bullock team as well,
On a Murrumbidgee flat.
I've seen the bullock stretch and strain
And blink his bleary eye,
And the dog sit on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai.
I've been jilted, jarred and crossed in love,
And sand-bagged in the dark,
Till if a mountain fell on me,
I'd treat it as a lark.
It's when you've got your bullocks bogged,
That's the time you flog and cry,
And the dog sits on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai.
We've all got our little troubles,
In life's hard, thorny way.
Some strike them in a motor car
And others in a dray.
But when your dog and bullocks strike,
It ain't no apple pie,
And the dog sat on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai.
But that's all past and dead and gone,
And I've sold the team for meat,
And perhaps, some day where I was bogged,
There'll be an asphalt street,
The dog, ah! well he got a bait,
And thought he'd like to die,
So I buried him in the tuckerbox,
Nine miles from Gundagai.

Dalian-built DL class 9383 running as a second part of M90A the Te Rapa yard- Hangatiki shunt working, is captured as it crosses the road at the southern end of Ohaupo. Across the tracks a visitor from New South Wales records the scene from a different angle.
