West Aussie Honey.
From our bees.
The honey in these containers is ' Forest Blackbutt '. As you can see it is a very dark, rich flavoured honey. It tastes a bit like sweet treacle, my favourite honey.
A honeybee can travel 153 metres in a MINUTE.

Behind the serious expression, Courtney Ogden is feeling a sense of elation. He was about to take second place in the 2010 Ironman Coeur d'Alene. He failed to finish this event twice, but Oggie felt he owed this race. An athlete that refuses to let past failure stand in the way of trying again is an inspiration.
Rambler Matador at the East Kurrajong Hobby and Car Show.
Matadors were built in Australia by Australian Motor Industries. The Rambler name continued to be used in Australia for a number of years after in disappeared in other markets.
The de Havilland Dragon was the forerunner of the later Dragon Rapide, and this example is one that was built in Australia during the war years.
After the hostilities, it served with the Northern Territory Aerial Medical Service and later did missionary work. It was imported into Scotland to be part as the Strathallan Collection but when that disbanded, the machine passed to the Museum of Flight, which is a Scottish Government organisation and is located in East Fortune, a few miles south of Edinburgh.

Hey mates! This is how we go "picnic" in Australia!
Eating BBQ sausages with our hands
P/s: these were free-range organic pork sausages and we were eating in a pig farm, just a stone's throw away from Daylesford, Victoria. What a great trip for anyone who likes the countryside rather than the city life, like I do.
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.

This Aussie Beach themed cake, was so large that every time I had to move it I was calling out, '"Honey, I need to move the cake again"! I'm always thankful that I have a handy husband, who can whip up custom cake boards for me and help me solve 'cake gravity dilemma's'.
