I created a thread in the gallery section, but I might just add some here for those who don't look that way.
I went with some work mates To Kroombit Tops National Park the other day. One of the features is it is the resting site for Beautiful Betsy a WW2 B24 that crashed in 1945 but was only located in 1994. For series of pictures can be found
here.
The boys meeting up after travelling to the park. That V8 diesel Land cruiser at the front just is just amazing to drive in the rugged terrain.
The Lookout
This is the tail section.The plane hit the side of the mountain and flipped. All 6 crew and 2 passengers died. No warning was given. No mayday call made. No parachutes were deployed.
The wreckage is spread over a fair area.
This is an example of a Queenslander style farm house. Queenslanders are distinct for their use of a veranda that surrounds most of the house, adding shade and cooling the house. Purple Jacaranda tree behind the house and the fresh white paint caught my eye.
Been a while since this house has been lived in. I am guessing that is a workers quarters to the left. Strangely it is on concrete stumps. Which is odd and belies the age of the rest of the building. It had either been re-stumped in the last 20 or 30 years or relocated. Either is unusual.
