Ha Ha Oldfarts, your a tricky one. The Bloody Davernports where the worst i'd tackled, but your hint about the west got me thinking about a rotten trip i had out from Meekathurra to see MOUNT AUGUSTUS, WA's Ayres rock so they said, can't find the pics from then cos they arn't on the computer, there slides which is what i used before digital. I'll give up after this try, memories not as good as it use to be. Sheppo

Hi Cobber and others, Checked out photos of Kings Canyon on the 'net. What a wonderful place! Beautiful scenery! Mind you I got a bit confused by the pics with the snow and sequoias in them... NT? Snow? Sequoias? Turns out there is a Kings Canyon in California as well. ;D ;D ;D I'm really enjoying the photos you guys and gals are putting up. Places I've never seen, and some I've never heard of! Keep up the good work! Don Ricardo

;D told you it was easy. ;D Smiley it is Broome, with an E. It is not Broome harbour, it's Roebuck Bay. if you crack it for the king tides you can see all 15 of them. O,F the 2 round things are the engines, not the Signa. Sheppo

Hi Sheppo, So can you explain what we're looking at in the photo a bit more please? I've been to Broome and Roebuck Bay, but obviously missed it... Don Ricardo

Hi Sheppo,
Thanks for the explanation and the additional photos. I did hear the story about the Catalinas when we were in Broome, but I didn't realise that there were still sections of the planes around. When I looked at your first photo I though maybe it was a part of a ship, but from what you've told us I can now readily see it's part of a plane.
Back to Smiley's pic...

i remember, i got sucked in by you again O.F. I got to thinking maybe it's in your old neck of the woods, then it hit me of corse, it's at Streaky Bay. SA. Your right Smiley thats a great little spot. There's a bloke just down the road from there who has a complete collection of Hit and Miss engines made by the one company i think it was Blackburn.

Funny that you have put up a photo of Murphy's Haystacks as that was the other one I was thinking of putting up instead of Streaky Bay. You're right I don't know your latest photo but would love to see it, guess I will have to go on another trip. Smiley

Ok now i know some of you guys have been to this city on your travels, b u t did you go here. This was built during the war as the town was thought to be next to be bombed after Darwin had been hit.
