Well, here goes:- this first lot are ｆｒｏｍ the day we left Canberra to travel back to Ｓunny QLD
a BIG Bus at 'EPIC' - （Canberra Show Grounds） - our last stop over
I promised myself that before we left Canberra I would park on the BIG round - a - bout infront of the AWM and get pics from both directions of ANZAC Avenue and escape before the 'Feds' got me
Ｔｈｅ ＢＩＧ Ａｕｓｔｒａｌｉａｎ Ｗａｒ Ｍｅｍｏｒｉａｌ

Good photos Des. Thora must be very patient with your" photo opportunities" . I have been up and down Sydney/Brisbane a few times but never taken any photos of any of these. FYI ,the big oyster is still at Taree for your next trip !!  cheers Murray |

The only reason the quality is poor --- there is no EGG in-front of it.

Yep I agree mate!!
Nothing like an 'EGG' to brighten up the scene.

Was it just me? or in the last photo did you have a completely different tow car? Thanks, you have given us a great idea for a trip theme when we do that leg of our AusLap! Kids can help do the research as part of their home school then map it out |

Hey ACS21,
Yes.....you are correct - it is a different tow car - and you are the only who has picked up on that.
Same Caravan - same destination but pic was taken a little while after we arrived but still fits the theme.
Great Idea to involve the kids - helps to make them feel part of things.
We have more 'BIG' Things to share but will wait a while and hope that others will get involved a bit more.
Cheers, Des & Thora

G'day All, This is the 'BIG' propeller off the 'Cherry Ventura' which ran aground near Rainbow Beach back in the early 70's. It was a huge tourist attraction for many years until the local council got very nervous and decided to cut it up and remove it completely from the beach due to the number of 'backpackers' falling through the decks. Anyway - the propeller found it's way to the car park at Rainbow Beach Surf Club where it remains today.  |

Hey Ted,
This is an earlier pic just prior to the spare wheel carrier.
I posted some current pics in my 'Rainbow Beach 21, 22 & 23 OCT 2014' post in 'The Classic Caravan Social Scene'.
Cheers, Des
