Bald Rock

A big boulder, the biggest on southern hemisphere. It's not as famous as Uluru, maybe because of its' (lack of) colour or it's not clearly visible in the middle of plains? Anyway, there's two trails leading to the summit: A direct one, with bare rock slopes (30% raise) without any steps or other help, or twice as long indirect route.

Ceder pines are groving near the top, on a thin soil that has accumulated there during the long years since the time begun. I wonder what would happen if someone would drag a sack of fertilizer up there...

The long trail up went over, under and between big boulders in some places. And there were some boulders just next to the edge, just waiting to be pushed a little...

I vandalized a little one rest place, leaving my mark there. Then again, the placement of these sheds are sometimes a crime against general aestichics... Its just a bluff on background, not the Bald Rock!

Around Tenterfield

Autumn is on the air here!

Wet wet wet & wet

Shame about the weather - road between Casino and Tenterfield is very nice for riders! I guess winter is coming here now, with a breeze...

Around Brisbane

For my own reasons, I just wanted to avoid all the toll-roads near Brisbane, so by-passing it took a little more time than just using the highways:-)

Mt Mee and Glorious do provide excelent roads for riders! No doubt the same for many of the local hills too!

Anzac day

Only read a book today, Sigh for a Merlin, which sort of fits in with the Anzac day. Had the servicing done earlier, and its a small wonder how much the prices differenciate between different garages!

Queensland Air Museum

They got me at last: I bought myself a book about Spitfires...
