Home isn't too hard to take, this is the view from my lounge

Favourite part of Australia.-pc310006.jpg

But the Northern Territory is where my heart is, I used to work at Ayers Rock, The Granites Goldmine in the Tanami Desert and Ranger Uranium mine in Kakadu.

I often wish I'd settled there, I really miss the grandeur of the place and the open space, one of the few places in the world were cars don't need letters in their number plates as the aren't enough people to necessitate them.

Here are a couple of the locals that I met,

Dingo at The Granites Gold mine. He's a bit of a camp favourite and his name is Steve.

Crocodile in the Alice river. I didn't get this blokes name, he must have weighed over two tons and seemed to be taking a nap. So I thought it best not to disturb him

Great thread!
I love The Whitsundays / barrier reef but can't upload my pics ATM.

Port Stephens, just up the road from me, is pretty nice

I'm a big fan of holidaying in Far North Queensland. This is one of my favourite photo's overlooking Port Douglas.

We spent many years visiting many parts of Australia before picking on Mount Tamborine to live. And it's still our favourite place.

These are taken in our backyard.
