A picnic spot with a view. Happy Bench Monday and have a great week, everyone.

I guess it was a burst of nostalgia that led me to viewing old images. I don't believe I've previously posted this panorama, part of the view from our former rural property. Best viewed large.

A privately built bench with an impressive view from the escarpment. HBM and best wishes for the coming week, everyone.

The lookout alongside the old cemetery gives great ocean views (also PiP), even in bad weather. I note (centre image) the ocean is stained by floodwaters from the adjacent Moruya River, following a deluge of rain. View large (click image). HFF, stay safe everyone and have a great weekend.

The view from the Montague Island lighthouse. This stitched panorama looks north across the island and shows the two different types of geology - granite nearby and basalt on the more distant section. The tern colony (previous images) is visible on the adjacent rocky areas. Definitely one to view large. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.

Back to my bushranger series. This is a view into the Araluen Valley, the richest of the NSW alluvial goldfields of the 1860s. The only road out led up this steep range, where Clarke's Lookout gained its name from the Clarke brothers and their gang of bushrangers. This was a favourite place for them to watch and wait to ambush coaches coming up from the valley. :-) Best viewed large. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Explored.

The cantilevered Forest Sky Pier lookout, near Coffs Harbour. Other images in notes. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.

Looking along the walkway to the Forest Sky Pier lookout. HFF.

Stitched panorama of the view from the lookout, across Coffs Harbour and the coast. One to view large.

It was quite remarkable, far in the Laos highlands, to visit a hilltop restaurant - another image in a note. This was part of the scene from the viewing platform. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

Watching from the verandah of the guesthouse, as the snow came through when we visited the Blue Mountains recently. For all those people up north having a hot summer. The snow is easier to see if viewed large. HFF.

Dawn breaking over the Southern Alps in New Zealand, as we leave on an early flight. For a musical link, this is the obvious choice.

After this past week, let's smile for Friday and make it a HFF! It's arrived here, but in other parts of the world it's still 19 November, which I'm told is "World Toilet Day". Here's my salute to that (with music if you wish) . HFF everyone. Explored.

Rising on a thermal in the ASK 21 glider near Boonah, after being towed up from the airfield by a Cessna (see rather badly taken inset image). Explored.

From an old slide. I was fortunate to have a trip over Mawson in one of the helicopters carried by the Nella Dan. This is taken roughly toward north, with the station area in the lower right on the shores of Horseshoe Harbour. The dotted lines on the snow at lower left are the doglines.

From an old 1966 slide. Looking down on our tractors, caravans, and the tracks we left as we arrived. This was our first base camp on the field trip. (Suggest viewing on black).

Like many Australian mountain areas, the Grampians rise abruptly from the surrounding flat terrain.
