G'day all Thanks to all who had a look. Thanks also for suggestions for the 2009 PDML book - it's made the selection task a bit easier.
I think. Responding to a few specific questions/comments.... Jan: > Question: > What is all the wiring spiraling up the three, on the Bicentennial Tree in > Pemberton ? It's for climbing up!. There are three 'climbing trees' in the area and there are lots of people who are mad enough to attempt all 75 metres. The 'steps' are just lengths of steel rod hammerered into the trunk - one slip and you can say goodbye to having any more kids... Details here: http://www.pembertontourist.com.au/pages/pembertons-climbing-trees/ * * * * * OzDave: > When I was a kid you used to be able climb it. Since been closed for > safety reasons.. No - you can still climb them, The only concession to safety are signs saying that you shouldn't attempt the climb if you are afraid of heights.... * * * * * CanadaDave > and 5240-crop, i like fences.;-) Me too. I should have had the tripod out for that one. * * * * * Subash: > went through the full gallery actually and enjoyed it quite a bit. must > have been some trip. i know you have a separate blog for the trip, > but i feel some kind of an accomanying narrative, however sparse, would > be helpful for appreciating the photos a lot more... I thought about adding comments to the images - even started to do it. But I wasn't happy with the way the JAlbum template displayed them. I also thought about adding an icon that opened a pop-up map and/or comment, but it all became a bit tedious. I'll have another think about it for future galleries. * * * * * Frank: > Hey, we have 60 year old trains in Canada, too! I don't think it's quite 60 but the Red Class sleepers were certainly based on a design at least that old. :-)> * * * * * Christine: > Darrel looked as well, and we were both wowing over Black > Kite--that would be my pick for the Annual. It's perfect to my eye. Yes - that was one of the real highlights of the trip. Being that close to a bird of prey was wonderful. Anyone visiting the south west of Oz *must* visit Eagles Heritage at Margaret River. It's just across the road from a winery. Very convenient! * * * * * Bob W > There's some really enjoyable stuff there - makes me want to go there > sooner > rather than later.

I hadn't thought about them like that. 'Inside Australia' competes with 'Eagles Heritage' for top highlight of the trip - had to watch out for the march flies, though. * * * * * Tim B > Now what you need to do is to go back and revisit them all to pick out > the best to post as PESOs here. Think of the relief when that's done! I think I've spent enough time on these. Time get out and take some more photos! * * * * * > Well worth wading, Brian. Useless Loop sounds like it was a must-see It was a photo op too good to pass up. The sign was just about the right height above ground. Visiting Useless Loop, however, was a bit beyond the capabilities of the Magna. Thanks again, all.
