ROCK WALL


This is one of my favorite parts of this walk... The air turns slightly colder and is a great resting spot...

Taken on my iPhone 3GS.

This track if you interested is a fire trail  in Valley Heights, NSW, Blue Mountains, Australia.

OLD HOLDEN



Came across this old car while bush-walking ... I think its a old Holden because it has GMH (General Motors Holden) on the seat-belt ...

This old girl is parked off a fire trail in Valley Heights NSW (Blue Mountains)... Quietly resting..

LISTENING IN



Conversation between one zebra to another = "Does Bob know"

"Don't worry he wont find out, your secret is safe with me. Nobody can hear us back here"

Or so they thought...

Photo was taken by my son Nathan on a Fujifilm camera at Toronga Zoo, Sydney, NSW.

TIGER



I love the big cats .... So powerful but so gentle .. You just want to give then a cuddle.. then run, before they eat you.

START OF A TORNADO


As a storm passed over, this cloud started swirling and turning, looking like it was trying to form a funnel while it was twisting around. I thought it was interesting.

Thankfully it didn't form a full funnel.

MY BIKE ACCIDENT




This is what happens when you get hit by a car at 80km/h while on a mountain bike.

I spent 4 months in hospital, 4 major operations, 3 hospitals (Campbelltown, Liverpool, Westmead). Transfers by Careflight Rescue Helicopter.

I broke my pelvis in 4 places, dislocated my left shoulder, broke my collar bone, tore my urethra (bladder) and had massive internal injury's (the blood supply to my legs bled into my stomach).

I died twice but doctors brought me back (yes, there is a white light), 32 blood transfusions and my weight dropped to 4 stone ( 25.3 kg ).

This photo was taken about 3.5 months later in late 1989.

I was very lucky I survived but still managed to smile for the camera.

Photo was taken by my cousin Tracy Dunbar at Liverpool Hospital NSW.

KITT - KNIGHT RIDER




Being a huge 80s Knight Rider fan, I couldn't believe my eyes when I went to World Expo 88 In Brisbane, Qld and saw KITT, he even spoke to me.

Taken in 1988 on 35mm film using a Minolta camera.

ADELAIDE CHURCH


This photo was taken on a mystery flight flying Ansett Airlines. I had never been to Adelaide before. Love the idea of the mystery flight, you don't know where you will end up. 

Taken on 35mm film using a Minolta camera in 1993.
