Aussie trip photos
A cockatoo at Belgrave. They had other cool birds there too, including some pinky ones.
David geeking it up filming out the window of Puffing Billy (Belgrave - Gembrook)
David standing in the cab of Puffing Billy. He had a ride in the cab for part of the journey.
The fairy tree in Fitzroy Gardens (Melbourne), very pretty and cool.
The fairy tree again.
Cook's Cottage in Fitzroy Gardens. The house where Captain Cook grew up, the shipped it over from England and rebuilt it here. Seems a bit odd to me but ah well.
Missing Link Records. I spent a bit of money in here but could of spent way more if I had of been in there for longer. Got 3 CDs and 2 zines.
An engine in a park at Deloraine. That's Paul (David's brother) peering out of it.
Can't quite remember where this was. I know it was somewhere on the way from Launceston to Queenstown (thats Queenstown in Tasmania). That's our rental car you can see.
A Climax. David has a model of one of them and some badges and stuff. I took this picture to prove that there really are engines called Climax.
King River Gorge, one of the sites I saw on the West Coast Wilderness Railway trip.
Port Arthur, the Tasmanian penal colony and now tourist attraction. Can't remember quite what this building and the next one where. When I look at my guidebook I'll be able to tell.
Port Arthur again.
The church at Port Arthur. It was gutted by a fire in some year (will update with details when I read the guide book)
David sleeping on the drive home from Christchurch. Awww.
Will post some more photos eventually. And will do a text post soon.
