Nice sightings & pics all. \O

I've not driven the loop, but have stopped on the main tar road here.

And a lonely cloud as we approached from the North.

Ahh yes, the erroneous Tropic of Capricorn info board.

Don't believe everything you read! Many of the references on the web are also wrong about this!

December 21 is Midsummer's Day (in the southern hemisphere), NOT the beginning of Summer!


Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!
