So I go camping with some friends up in Bigriggin, a very little place near Rathdowney in Queensland Australia. I fly to brissie and spend the day taking photos of people and just general people watching. This guy apparently busks on the streets of the CBd and has done for years...
Whilst looking around I saw an Aboriginal man and took this shot.... he looks slightly annoyed but does not question me.... then as I walk towards the south bank I
see a young fella riding his bike towards me, so I quickly gather my camera and shoot, this one I
feel is my best. Brissie is a busy city and full of all sorts of weird and wonderful things to photograph.
And as much as I would like to show you all my work, I have to pick photos that i hope my readers will enjoy as much as me. Anyway its onwards to another bloke I see checking his map, and as I raise my camera in the distance he looks straight at me so I snap this one... and then its us off driving to Bigriggin..
We arrive at Biggriggin & we are camping, enjoyin the peace and quiet of the woods and river flowing...only the possums come out at night, and of course being a kiwi bloke they are pests and we despise these creatures, but alas they are protected here in Australia, so I am resorted to just scaring these tame and dumb creatures away, much to my disgust! Anyway we pitch tent and settle back with a beer... its cold at night, yes even in Queensland it gets cold so we lit the fire early..
we enjoyed the few nights that we stayed there though paul got a bout of food poisoning (no, not from my cooking), and ended up heading back home early... The next day we chilled out and went for a look around and stopped at the Rathdowney pub, the township was small but a neat place to stop for a beer. There in the pub were a few "cowboys" and locals comin and going. I managed to capture a few shots and here is one of the fellas enjoying a cold brew..
There were some great shots to be taken and after we headed back to camp for dinner. The Kookaburrus are an inquisative bird and the one we had just sat there while we took photos, like a model posing for the camera..

The next mornin we set off, but not before Jacqui stopped to get a few shots of an old horse....
I get on the plane at Brissie airport and head on home, to another day and back to work it is for me... Thanks my friends for a great time!
