flipper saying hello

couple clouds we spotted crossing the nullarbor last monthsolid thick roll/wave coming towards us..and from below it very little actual rain when going through it.

HAHHAHA brenton.. believe it mate.. 3 of the girls where similar attired to me by the end of the trek. 32` weather and a 3.5km hike to the top. was a solid 2 hours of climbing. and the girls that didint have buttons wished they did.. total climb was 7km of distance 1100m of altitude and 4.5hrs top to bottom with some photos up top.Jimbo.. i wake up each day thinking the same thing.. my GF on the other hand is not as impressed with my luck though i did meet her on tour.. so no idea what she is complaining about.. lol!

we dodged the last of some fires on the nullarbor.. then hit Pemberton, Nannup, Manjimup Marg River etc... and basically ran where we could. had one of our guides parked up for a couple of days smack in the middle of a couple fires. lucky no crew on board just him. had food and a sat phone.. was happy to stay at the banks of the river he was camping at. asked me if i was joining him for the night.. he wasnt even aware of how bad the fires or how close they were to him.. made it out all safe though. but many of our prospective camp sites around that area were burnt out. was some awe insp

all photos taken via my Olympus 8010. which is pretty good most days but ive started to get unhappy with the results of late. so.. just bought myself a Canon EOS 550D as an early Christmas present.. cant wait to get hold of that and start on some good quality DSLR photos!

havnt uploaded the shark pics yet.. will post some more up afterwards..

and the storm trooper crossing the nullarbor perth to sydney raising cash for Star light foundation.

still loving life and touring the country for a living thought id chuck up some pictures from last trip. these have been saved to FB so i hope the quality isint too downgraded. We had plans to be in Margeret River.. but as you can see.. we didint quite make it..but some nice weather too.. only a couple days before...out door cinema..Dinners not quite ready yet... still a bit rare... 1100m up Bluff Knoll in Wa perk of the job.. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/393238_10150410171251607_586961606_8817139_424745621_n.jpg

sky, water.. cliff tops.. trees... yeah lots of out doors photos

just picked up a Canon EOS 550D as i have become quite unhappy with the picture quality from my olympus 8010 of late.The olympus has provided great under water shots while im touring and does take some great pictures on land. but ive found myself deleting so many more pictures after each trip now. so bit the bullet and bought a DSLR! now will come the frustration.. or joy.... of learning to use it!please chuck up any hints and tips you guys have got!Canon EOS 550D with a 18-55mm lense is my starter point..bought from http://www.eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au/digital-slr-cameras.html on their c

see them all the time.. and love it! the WEdgey is actually my bus mascot!!!fully grown can have a wing span up to 3m across!!! ive been lucky many times to come close to them while on tour. the crew love it! part of the problem with them getting hit is when they take off they often use the hot thermals from the road to provide lift.. hence they fly down the road a bit or across it on initial take off.

smaller the lure the faster movement is how ive found it in blades. they are long and thin.. so offer little surface area to get vibrations going. also with TT def use the rear hole it will allow the lure to have a more vertical presence and create more cavatation/vibration through the water..

pulled a knife. or had a knife with him to cut up bait etc. and they have seized on this part of the story to embellish it

nice work!~ love my alveys!shame ill be some where headed towards WA at the time. good luck with the night!!

any more than a a thumb is tooooo much bum! but to keep it on the topic of cockles... im almost due for a session.. my 300 limit weight over 14kg last year.. took nothing smaller than 5cm..

yeah was gonna head down with some of the 8.5cm ones i got from over the coast ;)but he arrived too early..

catching up with chunky in a couple minutes... ill take some cockles..

yup, looks like a water dragon to me. top lil critters

have a reel spooled with 2lb mono, and i team it up with a 1-3kg rod. have only managed some carp so far.. but i snapp off a lot.. think i should up the leader to 4lb.. been running 2lb all way through. 2lb braid probably still snapss at 4lb but the mono is def pretty light to play with!

get plagued by them at times when fishing the stones down with Nev... i think at best we caught 25 in a few hours one day.

ive been using them for carp fishing and also baited trout fishing.. love the lip hooking!!

haha yeah brenton, i aint selling me alveys.. Softy was lucky i gave him the rod.. but he aint THAT lucky to get one of my reels though till one comes up he will be borrowing one of mine if we head out the rods are in top condition. Jim, built them and fished them. was very pleased to know we fished the same areas and even know some of the same people.

so... Anyone got a 650C for sale???

they;; get a work out down on the stones with ya on the way to coffins.. soon as we cement our dates in
