Yesterday I went out for a ride with about ten mates. It was a glorious day with the temp around 30C. Had alot fun in the twisties with a variety of machines. Just great to get out and about on two wheels with the wind in my face and a bunch of like minded people who don't care what you ride or how fast you go. Awesome.



This is the dam that is our water supply.

The place was crawling with Goannas. Here is one in a tree.

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?

Well actually now that you mention it, Funnelweb spiders make cuddly pets.


This one is asking to be picked up and cuddled.

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!

You have to watch out for the kids if any Drop Bears are around for sure.

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