GREAT START OF 2008 ^_^

Thought you had HoFed or something ;) But probably this was better, looks amazing!

 

Wow Very nice. Thanks for sharing your photos. After a 43.7C yesterday that sure looks cool LOL. Is this part of the Real Life thing I have been hearing about?? hehehe. :D

 

Great photos. It looks very nice. And cool. :D :cold: :D

 

Thanks for sharing your pics and trip with us jaw - looks very nice and serene.
We went to the 'top of europe' once on the mountatin called jungfrau, but we were still surrounded by tourists so only the vista was serene.

Look very nice where you went :)

 

Awesome :clapping: :ok:

Great Pics Jaw!! Indeed it is a very serene place :cloud9:

 

I do some hiking with my kids in the mountains around New England ( East Coast U.S. ) and, indeed to find a place away from the tourists and the din of the roadways and to bask in the solitude is a moment to treasure.

Great pics. Maybe someday I'll get to Europe, but, no offense, Down-under is still first on the list as I have yet to see the southern cross.

 

You are not the boss of me, .Really. and to find a place away from the tourists and the din of the roadways and to bask in the solitude is a moment to treasure is?Thanks for your support. I do not understand.
When? Congratulations.

 

The south was very cross in the early 1860's. :hehe:

I'm not sure I even know where to find the southern cross. The most noticeable things in the sky here at night are bright satellites, and bits of SkyLab still floating around up there. :D
The scenery, white sand beaches and clear blue water are well worth the trip. The most spectacular scenery here is unfortunately often in very remote or hard to reach locations.

 

We have a lot of nice things here.
1 We have the worlds most poisonous snakes
2 We have the worlds most poisonous spiders
3 We have the worlds most poisonous jellyfish
4 We have the worlds most poisonous octopus.
And like Burgerman stated the prettiest places here are only reached by helicopter.

I stay in the house with a can of bug spray, a fly swatter and a long stick :rotfl:

 

I never should have said I was hoping to get there someday. :D

 

You mean like these little fella's? They only want to come and play.

But after saying all that I must admit it is a very nice place. I love it here.

 

I think there are a few exceptions. You love it here. What do you like about it here so much?

 

Where are the best places to visit? Not the usual tourist traps, mind you, but the GOOD places.

 

I would search for it. Have you tried looking in the Open Directory? Ask the open directory about it..Really you don't think so?

 

What would you know about it, Blabberbot???

I would say the most scenic places that are accessible by land vehicle would be places like the river gorges and canyons in the NW, the sub-tropical lush areas across the northern parts, complete with water buffalo and crocodiles, the mountains and parklands in the east, the lush dairy lands and vineyards in the south, and the towering forests in the SW.
A lot of the atmosphere of the bushland and open spaces is probably best absorbed by going on an organised tour with camping, where they provide the tents and 4WD transport, so you can savour the experience. A lot of places here are not easily captured in photographs - you need to spend time there and take the memories back home as feelings and experiences, imho.

You might get a chuckle from some of the Australia pics and wildlife I posted at

That Africa things sounds good. I have a fascination for big cats but not sure I would want to play with one. Africa is in such turmoil at the present time I would think it might not be a safe place to be. :-( But the wild life there is surely in need of help. Good for her for doing that. :D
