Last year I purchased a refurbished Canon 6D from Canon (about $1100 when they have them). It is not a camera for everyone - it doesn't shoot as many frames per second as some people would like for example - but some say it is the "second-best camera ever made". I have been fantastically pleased with this camera. Its low-light capability allows me to get acceptable images with an ISO as high as 25,000. I can do pretty amazing cropping. The dynamic range of the images seems much better than with the APS-C sensor cameras.

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning. The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.

The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy's stamina
and asked him what he did to have so much energy.
The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It
keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."

So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery. As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed a help. He said, "Do you have any rye
bread?" "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?" He said, "I want 5 loaves."

She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll be hard." He replied, "I can't believe everybody knows about this stuff but me."

Some examples of what can be found as you travel through the high country. These were originally built for the stockmen to stay while moving stock through the vast mountainous areas of the high country. They are still used for this as well as for overnight emergency stops and for travellers, hikers, or when snow bound. The first is the famous Craig's Hut used in the film "The Man from Snowy River". Unfortunately this has burnt down 3 times and this is a rebuilt replica of what it was like. It is a tourist stop and has easy access for buses and 4 x 4 cars. The rest are found as you drive through the numerous tracks to be found. They are found of all maps in case of emergencies but are often burnt down in area bush fires through summer, only to be rebuilt by local towns or organisations. The last is a Old School House, I believe built in the 1800's ??? This one is built by a homestead that have been appointed the school's caretakers to help with maintenance and upkeep. Usually you can find some stored can food items that have been left or donated for emergency situations. Also some have a log books to record visitor's names and comments, where you are from etc.
