    Congratulations! You have been featured in the Australian Travel Photography and Writing group 23 Nov 2009.

    Wonderful (and brave!) Aussie image, Lee.

  • Thank you Leanne,
    I only feel brave cos the damn thing basically ran us off the road…
    I felt for all the “grey nomads” & their caravans being pushed to the side of the road as they tried to negotiate these inland arteries. My wife & I were in a hire car having flown in/out of Normanton!!!
    Thanks again for the feature..
    Cheers Lee

    Big fella!! Congratulations on your feature in the Australian Travel Photography and Writing group.

  • Thanks Sonia… yep he was a biggun….
    closely followed by another biggun…. & the first biggun had already run us off the road!!!!!
    Did enable me to pick up my camera from the floor of the car!!!!

    gosh! i heard about them but never actually seen one. great image. i have to hold my breath or my lungs will be filled with dust in a minute. ;-))

  • The sealed part of the road often narrows & you are forced onto the edge, as you can see Ursa…
    it can get a bit scary when they go past!!!!
    & yes they are very big & long…
    & they don’t move over to share the road either
