The view from my "office"

[Austman]

At my office today:

A “delicious” packet of Bluebird chicken flavoured chips, didn’t quite make it…

It’s almost there!



Tempting!! Haha

OK, if you can drive legally at 120kph, why not Oz?
Contrary to popular belief, not all autobahns in Germany are unlimited.

Where that is the case though, it is clearly signposted.

Is that like saying the speed limit on UK motorways is 110kph?

112.654 kph..........

112.654 kph..........

Not if you drive a BMW, Audi, Merc or VW ... usually

Vang Vieng, another drive into to the bush yesterday, some nice scenery!
I thought I could get over that bridge, made it though the concrete blocks with about 2 inches each side, hmm maybe not, a 10 point turn required to go back!

I recognize that place! Is it near Orford, just north of Hobart?

Vang Vieng, at pre dinner drinks last night, nice dog, interesting "funny cookies" on sale, dare say other things as well. Really good thunder storm.
Another drive today down what was the main road before the expressway was built.

No - far less primitive than that...

In the vicinity

Thats not nice. I have been to both places. The food is better in Laos but Orford is definitely less primitive.

Hmmm... - are you absolutely sure on that? I'm not.

My travels West started in a familiar aluminum tube from my favourite airport:

Different runway direction to take off



ATC Tower



The end of the new runway with a couple of planes parked out in the open



The beginning of Moreton Bay



Sone island shots







About 90 mins into flight to Adelaide we had to maneuver around a big storm





This is how lightning strikes start bushfires:



This was my chariot to ADL (captured from my new aircraft):



When I woke up this morning, a delightful view of the Swan River:
