Nice day for a ride - nice scenery too.
Goannas ... the Aussie version of the squirrel - the size of a small crocodile and claws that can rip your face off!

Looks fantastic there. "Goannas ... the Aussie version of the squirrel - the size of a small crocodile and claws that can rip your face off!" Is there any wildlife in Australia that is health and safety approved? 
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Nice pics of some handsome country there.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Our reptiles and spiders need all that armour to protect them from the dreaded drop bears.

"How do you like your goanna? Medium? Well done?" "You don't really expect me to eat that?" "Yeah, its great. Yeah, try some of these yams, try the grubs and the sugar ants. Just bite the end off, they're really sweet. Black fellas love 'em." "What about you, aren't you having any?" "Me?" [Mick starts working on a tin with his knife] " ...Well, you can live on it, but it taste like sh:t."  I still love that movie!

Drop Bear(s?) look frightening for sure. I personally think flying monkees represent a greater hazard for the motorbiker jh
