Barb the Bikie Part 2



For those of you who might not know, Barb now has her RE class motorcycle licence.  She can now ride by herself without me "supervising" her.  Most times when she is working daylight hours, she rides to work.  Because we got her bike used, there wasn't any choice on colours and white was never her first love.  Last week we changed that.  It is now green.  Tree Frog Green as Barb calls it.  It is the same green as the Mazda 2 hatchbacks.  We painted the helmet and the top box to match.  The top box I also wired for signal, tail and brake lights.

  Eleven months ago Barb wasn't even sure she wanted to ride on the back of my bike and now she has a custom painted scooter!!!

  In other news, we now own an air compressor and a spray gun.  Once we move, we are planning on painting my bike and the car.

Venus & Jupiter

Tonight the planets  of Venus and Jupiter and very close in the sky. Close enough in fact to get both of them in the same camera shot even with my telephoto lens. (Plus a bonus moon shot).  The Moon and the planets where all shot a the same zoom, so it shows the planets are not much more than a Moon's width apart.

Longreach and Winton

I just uploaded a video of some of the attraction around Longreach and Winton. Barb & I took a few days off and drove 10 hours inland to see. There were dinosaurs and airplanes; what's not to love?


Winton is kinda interesting.  It is a small town of less than 1000 people, but gave Australia both the airline Qantas and the song "Waltzing Matilda".  The first board meeting for Qantas (Queensland and Northern Territory Air Service) was held in Winton, and them immediately decided to move to Longreach which was located at the end of the rail line. Waltzing Matilda was written on a cattle property near Winton and was first preformed in the town.

I have a few days off. Trying to study for a revision course next week. Rosie has a better idea:

No Lotus for me

I've been a Lotus fan since high school.  Orginally with Esprit Turbo and now I really like the current Elise. Went to Lotus Brisbane to check them out.  Unfortunately I barely fit in them.  With the top up, my hair brushes the roof.  Also with the top up you basically have to fold yourself into the car. Getting in top down isnt to bad. I'm not pretty sure I couldn't convince Barb to get a used one as our next car.  😕

Moving to Bundy

Hi all.  It is March already and we haven't blogged anything since New Years Eve.  A lot has happened since then.

  First off, Barb returned from her 5 month stint at the Thursday Island Hospital.

  Then, one week later on the Australia Day long weekend, we moved to Bundaberg.  We ended up renting a truck and took two trips back and forth between Mackay & Bundaberg (about 8 hrs each way).

Leaving Mackay	Near Rockhampton we followed a truck that was transporting a steam engine.
Barb got to drive the truck too.	We did run into a bit of rain too.

  We moved into a nice house in Innes Park about 10km east of Bundaberg.  We live about 500m from the ocean. 

More to come...

Dragon Park

I have just uploaded a new video to YouTube. Dragon Park: Today while Barb & I were out for a ride, we pulled over for a little break. At the roadside park were three giant lizards. We pretty sure they are Lace Monitor. (Shot & edited on my Note 4)
