Show us your photos
oh, mate! you got there! was that the joint you posted a while back and wanted to have another go at?
First decent sunset for weeks. 
Hey Supa,
That’s on fire.
I see the wreck is nearly wrecked.
Good stuff all round mate!
There’s a eerie calmness at the moment before this swell hits , going to be a few father son teams washed into the lagoon, hopefully unscathed . Some big low tides again next week so more crap should be cut up and removed . No idea what they will do with the 52 tonne of counterweight . It will take some serious volume of gas to cut through , into pieces small enough to physically carry onto their boat . Ideally they could scull drag the tracks and counter weight out further and create a dive spot further out from the break . Highly doubt they would do this however .
Went for a little drive up to SE Qld this last week and went for an overnight walk up on the Main Range National Park.
Took very few photos but thought this one's a keeper.
What I particularly like is that you can see quite clearly the eroded remains of the Focal Peak shield volcano in that distant ridge.
And if you look closely you can see Focal Peak itself, the central point, sitting just behind that ridge.
25 million years of processes right in front of you.
And I nearly forgot - down on the coast, pies are somewhere around $7 these days.
The cost of a pie in a small, inland old-school town? $4.50.
Wins all round.
Amazing what a bit of wind and water can do.
Interesting topography in the foreground as well with the gentle sloping ridge above a basalt(?) escarpment?

AndyM. Hi fella. Hope you are well.
Beautiful photo with two distinct perspectives.
Old town bakeries in Australia, still trying to keep a pie under the $5 mark.
That would please Freeride76, he judges countries GDP ( Gross Domestic Pie) economics on the cost of pies, I think he once stated that you know a country is becoming very expensive when pies go above the $5 mark.
Many of the ridges of the Great Dividing Range are the back half of extinct and ancient calderas. AW
Distracted - below is the view from that rocky shelf (Lizard Point).
Yeah as far as I know it's largely basalt with some trachyte (The Steamers formation) and rhyolite in the plugs and sills.
AW, good to hear from you, sounds like you're living large!
Exactly, the Main Range is the eroding western flank of the Main Range shield volcano.
And I suppose an old-Australia town like Killarney just isn't going to cop expensive pies!
Such a different world out there, under three hours from Brisbane but barely in the 21st century, which certainly isn't all bad.

AndyM. Good stuff, enjoying your dialogue and photos, keep it up.
The next iteration of mine and Supas journey heads to the Mentawais this afternoon. Life’s good. AW
Looking forward to the photos and stories AW.
Been on the ‘couch’ all night, bit of a sub-surface beach party, ‘Only A Hermit Crab Knows The Feeling’
Lances Right, Katiet, Sipora, Indonesia.
Selamat pagi swillnutters
Light on a dull day.AW
Similar light
Unseasonal storms that ultimately had little gusto
Caught this on the way to work today, can't recall seeing both ends to a rainbow touching down before.
Beautiful stuff guys.
Wow nice stuff
It’s not often when you see them touching the ground
Did you get the pot of gold
Diddlideeee

Blackers. Hi pal , nice snaps. Somewhere over the rainbow.
That cloud in the background. Lenticular I think (Craig ?). AW

Hi mate, hope you’re well. Yes, very similar light. Down here the light clarity is so good at present, not so many obstructions in the atmosphere. AW
Lovely Blackers , the rainbow looks so close , my daughter is a big fan of rainbows. 
Second photo almost but not quite I feel.

Cheers Craig. I love Supas rainbow arcing over the boats, looks like they are in an oceanic biosphere. AW
@boys
^^^^ thats a bloody ripper shot GS , I still can’t get over how close blackers shot appears to be . Distance shots seem to be the norm but his is very different .
It was remarkable Supa, maybe 100 m max offshore. Too close to catch the whole thing in one shot. The yellow marker in the first shot is 50m from the beach. Reckon it's the only time I have seen such a clear touch down, and be able to see behind it. In the past it has always been over the horizon or behind a hill.
Lovely shots btw by you and GS.
Cheers, has anyone ever come close to being zapped by lightning? Years ago I got caught down the far end of gunna and two lightning bolts hit the nearby dunes as I ran back to 2nd carpark, I swear to the gods the the air around me was a pinky colour, very scary stuff
@GS , I was escorting a wide load into Port Hedland and was about 100 klms out , near wodgina , doing the top speed limit for such a load was 80 kph . A bolt of lightning landed in the salt bush about 100 meters to my right and I was momentarily blinded , very nearly soiled myself as the crack of thunder was huge .
In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
