The High Eden Photomania Run - Peter, Brian and Kay's Photos

"I'll just pose here next to this granite duckie," Brian thought.

"I'll just look at the camera and forget that Gay Zorro is posing behind me," Kay thought.

At Collingrove Brian decided to hide under the butch looking crocheted blankie. Kay pretended not to notice.

At the creek the blanket makes a mysterious appearance as Mata Hari's headdress. Who could it be that is so artfully disguised? Could it be Mata Hari herself?

The team brings out the big guns. "Umbrella ready to fire."

"Kaboom! Miss fire - limp, dangle."

The Manumumnum Runumnum

On My 20 QCar visited Mannum.

On the way we saw some rock art. Obviously indiginous and dating back to 20,000-40,000 BCE.

Pics of Bryan's Monaro were taken ...

... and taken.

A lovely Morrie joined us for the run.

The Merc enjoying the lofty view.

The T-Bird failed to sink the punt.

Back to summer!

Apologies that this took so long. Had a Zip failure - now okay ... anyway a few months back and several degrees hotter than it is now we went to the beach ...
