Whether you have been here before or not.. WELCOME! I'm
not much of a photographer but I enjoy taking photos that [to me] seem unusual or interesting. Sometimes I think they are funny, sometimes strange and sometimes R rated. In any case you are encouraged to put comments in the visitors book. I hope I can make you smile or even giggle a bit.
The first few days in Rockhampton did NOT look good - it rained, no, it poured and none of us had a boat.
Pubs are known for lots of BULL but the Great Western pub takes it a step further. They have a bull ring, bulls and cowboys INSIDE the pub. Visit on the right days - and you can try your luck at bull riding.
Thats NOT a close up photo - he's as big as my hand, and his home is a few feet from the entrance to the Tourist Information building.

IT SAYS ....
Because of the tilt of 20 degrees 27 minutes 30 seconds
of the earth's axis of rotation to its orbital path, the Tropic of Capricorn is
the southernmost latitude at which the sun reaches the zenith. This happens only
once each year on the summer solstice about the 22nd of December. Capricorn was
in Roman mythology the sea goat into which pan was changed to escape from the
terrible giant typhon - it is also the name given to the constellation resembling
it. When the December solstice was first observed the sun was situated in
this constellation, hence this tropic was named Capricorn.
I knew that!
I had to sit and watch this sundial outside the tourist info office for 15 minutes to see if it was accurate - it wasn't. The Sun was two minutes faster than MY WATCH.
The bird was happy to keep an eye out for the other bushrangers.

This croc was playing on the road when a road train ran over it.
The smile is a worry.
It is lunch time, and he's looking at you.
Ha Ha Ha Ha - you tourists are funny!
