Aussie Aerial Pics

[TWINKLE_TOES]

Neil,

Someone sent this link today and it has an "Aussie Aerial Pic" you may enjoy.
Look at the Australian Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route.

Cool !!!

Yep there aint much out back here to see !!!

I'd be one of the real little dots on the East Cost about 1/4 of the way down from the pointy bit (Cape York)

Nearly as bright as your East Coast !!!!!

Cheers

Hey Neil/Al

That's a great photo, makes Perth look pretty lonely doesn't it.

Way cool!

I sent it to all of my friends and family for them to enjoy too.

Yep Perth is way over there on it's own.

Something like 80+% of our population lives on the East Coast in the Mid-Southern parts (As you can see)

I have yet to get to Perth, but have driven to the middle where those lonely lights are !

Great trip. 5500km in 2 weeks !!!!

Cheers

what kind of trees are those along the driveway?
good pics, tell your photographer she did fine!

 

[njrqs]

Mr Creature ??

I think the palms along the driveway are "Cuban Royals". Sounds like a cigar hey??

They were there when we arrived and I'd say the big ones have been in since day 1 (10 years ago). They were being watererd by the grey water from the house but the system has since failed and they now fend for themselves. They look OK.

Cheers

<font color=blue>...Can you airbrush out my neighbours for me????</font color=blue>

I'm no Harv, but I couldn't resist /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[Harv]

<font color=blue>I'm no Harv</font color=blue>

And that's something you should be thankful for every day of your life! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I can't improve on what Mark has done, Neil, but if you really want a quiet neighborhood, I can take it a step further. See attached.

 

[njrqs]

Mark, you have made me a very happy man. I can only dream !!!!!!

But Harv, well you have just gone that little extra bit, the little bit that confirms your star staus. You have made the value of my property substantial now !!!!

Now I really want beach front land, and enough area for a runway for a light plane /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Well done boys - Keep up the good work !!!!

 

[njrqs]

PS

I aim to go over our place again once the grass is green again, the dam has settled and all the grass has grown back from where the excavator "played" in the mud.

Should be a tad better then !

Cheers

How is this Neil. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
Ocean front
Pier
Airfield
Planes
Your wish is my command! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[Harv]

Well done, David! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I notice that either Neil has a different plane for each day of the week, or he's throwing a party for some of his affluent pilot friends.

Too bad we're getting all this done with computer magic instead of with our tractors.

 

[cedarranch]

Harv, this is called the planning stage. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Next comes the ground breaking stage! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
This is the stage were Neil will fly us over for a VACATION /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif and our wives relax on the beach while we PLAY on some aussie tractors! /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
This is otherwise known as Fantasy in OZ! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[njrqs]

At present I can only fly a 4 seater so I may have to make a few trips across to the states. Does your airforce have one of those KC10 mid-air refuelers I could borrow??

I think our wives may have to wait a while to play on the beach. I reckon it would take a few FEL scoops to make that ocean !!!

I'd really like a longer, bitumen runway, but I suppose that one would have to do for the moment !!

What's the secret to what you guys do there?? - My one an only foray into playing with photos was using MS Paint to draw the boundaries on. How do you get rid of negihbours? - Just paint green over them??

And what about these signatures everyone has, what do you use to make them??

Cheers

Neil,

How do you like this sig? I got a pic off the Autrailian tourist bureau web site and did a little animation.

Let me know what you'd like and I'll take a shot at creating it.

<font color=blue>Are you a woman? </font color=blue>

Naaah, he's just a TBN'er /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[njrqs]

Yes a am a woman really !! - Nah, I have just lived with one for too long !! - Yes give someone and inch and they'll take a mile !!

I supposed I'll have to be content with my ocean frontage and dirt strip. Then again now I can have a sea plane !!

I did ask for it didn't I - How to get rid of neighbours??

I don't have a FEL and with 7 of the buggers in that house that means a lot of spade work !!!

Cheers

Mike

That is cool indeed. Very Aussie and I think I'll adopt it right now.

I think I know how to do it but I'll ask if not.

Gee you guys are helpfull. Now for that runway ?????


Cheers
