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."

Photomania II: Reverse Cycle - Hillary & Tom's Photos

This set of photos comes with a parental advisory warning.
The following pictures are rated PG - perverted and guilty.
You have been warned . . .





A public service - Hillary producing fire water. See sign on fence.



The might Dodge in front of the Harrogate Soldier's Memorial Hall. "Attention!"



I believe he did this voluntarily.



Yes, he's standing on the roof. The scenic shot I think, unless you think that was the one back at the toilet block.



Hillary phone home.



On sentry duty - that's making sure the sentry doesn't get away . . .



A fey pixie welcomes you to Fairyland Village. He hopes you have a lovely time and of course he happy to show you 'the sights'.

Photomania II: Reverse Cycle - Robyn, Julie and Liz's Shots



A scenic dead tree. Looks like a Eucalypt Firewoodius species.



Lucy not taking any interest in being a farmer. The herd is on the Other side of the car.



Too racy for a hearse. But hatch backs are so useful for carting things away . . . like bodies rolled up in old carpet.



The Merc gets hungry at the Dawsley Phone box. "Crunch".



"Renovator's delight in natural parklands. Close to all amenities such as air and earth. Would suit Satanic cult or coven."
Another scenic shot.



Smoke stop girls?



More scenics . . .



The documentary shot showing "The Making of The Harrogate Soldier's Memorial Hall Photo" or THSMHP for short.



See above caption, substitute phone booth where appropriate and forget about the acronym.

Ready for a quick getaway at the Harrogate Hall and Gunslinger Saloon.



Brendan ponders the eternal question . . . "What to have for lunch", in front of the Harrogate Cemetery gates.
