tiabunna's photos with the keyword: travel

Just home from a fortnight of very summery travels (even though it's winter in Australia) with little chance to go online. I posted this image before departing, but had the wrong posting date so it didn't show as my most recent image. I expect to be back fully online over the next few days when I catch up with things. Here's an appropriate link. :-)

The island has only about 8km of road and very few vehicles. There also is an absolute speed limit of 25 km/hr. Most tourists hire bicycles and there are bicycle parking racks at popular spots. The main job for the one policeman is enforcing the Australian rule that cyclists must wear helmets (these are provided with the cycles). It's all very relaxed...... :-) I'd suggest viewing large.

Roadside sign in Central Australia and another image of the Breakaways area in a note. When heading into unknown territory, full preparations are advisable: who knows where we'll be next week? This seems strangely relevant advice with regard to a particular website!

Copied from an ancient negative (1966). That's me among the Central Masson Ranges, after a climbing day a short distance inland from Mawson Station in Antarctica. The surface is blue ice and I'm leaning on VW "Antarctica 3" - the third in a series and the first 'usable' motor cars on the continent (one of the early explorers had a car which proved near unusable). Here's a musical link. I originally posted this in conjunction with my ipernity article "Preserving history".

Panoramic view of part of the Hobart waterfront, looking down the Derwent River estuary.

"Only this fence stops me from going to distant places...." Happy Fence Friday!
