Well, I think I'm officially a WhitePage (Bugger... BlogNow) addict. Just lately I've been seeing lots of things that remind me of you guys. It makes me feel all soppy inside, so I thought I'd share...

For Aries67...
We saw this little guy on a tree at Blackdown Tablelands. He's a leaf-tailed gekko, one of our native species, I believe... and that's about all I know about them. Please feel free to correct me and/or expand on my knowledge.

... and just because I was so unthinking towards your occupational feelings the other day, Gabby, you get two pics. How about another goanna shot? I think this one is one of the best. You tell me that these guys aren't descended from dinosaurs. Is that a velociraptor??...

For Rinny...
I couldn't resist taking this shot for you. It's a street sign in Comet (I think, I may have to correct that), which is a tiny town in CQ... so small that you don't yawn on the way through or you'll miss it. I'm still searching for Cleatus St.

For Blackrose...
I don't know why I thought of you Carole. I've wanted to stop and take a photo of this driveway for some time now. I have a question that you may be able to answer for me... what's the significance of the cactus sculptures out the front? I didn't think there'd be too many of those in Canada... I tend to picture them in the desert, not cold and snow.

For Heather...
Bloody tree-hugging hippies...

For Tracy...
That's not a cactus... this is a cactus. Prickly Pear, in fact. Did you know that they flower red, then produce an edible purple fruit, which Gryph assures me is quite tasty?

For Plonka...
It was nice of them to show God this piece of marble, wasn't it? I mean, it's not as if he ever saw it before...

And just to show that I'm not prejudiced...

For AngelaJames...
A pretty little church for you. I like taking photos of churches because the architecture can be pretty cool. I don't like the big, pretentious ones (I'll show you some doozies one day), but this one's cute.

For Snowy...
Now, the quality is not great on this one (I tried for a better one, but alas...)
"Look, it's John Howard and George Bush!"

For Chica...
Some more Australiana. This shot was taken from the window of the truck as it hurtled down the road at 110k, somewhere between here and Emerald. Once again... please excuse the quality.

For cc...
The light on this particular morning was pretty crappy, so only a few out of the 20-odd pics that I'd taken actually worked. This was the closest I could get to a bird on a stick.

For Kitty and Paul...
You guys get two pics too, but you have to share them. The first is more for the stoner with no muffler. I came across this drink the other day in a shop in Emerald. It's an energy drink (similar to Red Bull, etc) that contains guarana and taurine... and all that other good energy making stuff. I'm fairly addicted to energy drinks, despite the taste... but I quite like this one. Now to find a local outlet to buy it from.

And Kitty, I think you'll appreciate this one... just a thought...
