I'm down test way in a few weeks for my school reunion...At the Bowls Club...
I haven't been on here for few years, so as a peace offering here's a few images I shot last week in sunny Queensland Australia.
I have 2 Transcend cards 1 16gb and 1 32gb and they have never missed a beat!
I have a SanDisk Extreme 16gb card which works fine as well except the original was DOA I returned it and the replacement and all good.
Definately Coffs Harbour... The charter boats have Coffs Harbour phone numbers and there are no headlands around the local harbours to Redcliffe...
It would be long sightseeing drive to Coffs about 5 hours each way...

These were taken near Redcliff near Brisbane Queensland
Nice shots... But I think your a little off with location!
Looks like Coffs Harbour to me, I spent a while as skippering a 65' trawler out of there...

Hi Darren. You should have seen the ones in the ultra brief bikinis. I didn't post them because I was thinking of you & I didn't want to tease you, lol. Earl. 8-) 8-)
Head to Angourie... They often forgot the bikini entirely there...
My misspent youth... Craigemore rocks and lovers point! Lots of memories...
You are so mean Dook...
I was never any good with the rod and reel....
Iluka boat harbour, just memory of what it used to be, I worked trawlers out of there 30 years ago when it was overflowing with trawlers would have been at least 50 boats in there....

enjoyed the photos. my parents owned shrimp boats when i was young. brings back many memories.
I know the feeling I spent 10 yrs in the industry in the 80s... Still like to look but no desire to touch anymore.

Nice ones Darren. The old town doesn't change much. You know the Westward 11 is moored virtually across River St from my place. Earl.
I'm back down this week.... Just wish it was under better circumstances...
Thanks David, was just couple of quick grabs heading out of town on a 4 hour drive home...

Darren, Interesting pix.8-)
I was down in the riverside township of Maclean where I grew up.... Dook keeps teasing with images of my past so had to take a few of my own.
The fleet sits idle at the end of the prawning season.

An iconic local trawler the Westward II
Silver Shadow this was brothers trawler he built over 20yrs ago

Now where does that Troll live?
I have a cheapy I bought on eBay... Good news is it works as way to review images in bright sunlight...
The downside is it is out of focus to check detail of an image next time I will spend the money and buy a better quality one...
I almost never use it because I it disappointing when I look at an image through it.
