This one was super cool.
I was changing batteries when he pranced out of the scrub at Flinders and began posing.
Several OOF shots later I was lucky.
This was early Spring so I think he had his best and brightest outfit on in his quest for a mate.

Minimalist, perfect example of less being more.

I'm a traditionalist (aka 'Old Phartee') so I like #13.
All might impressive, but the B&W is excellent IMHO.

These make me feel both ancient and nostalgic at the same time Tas!
Coming from a family of 'Scrambles' and 'Motocross' racers I well remember the period of four-strokes being replaced by two-strokes, as my Father raced Velocettes when we were kids and both my brothers went into the Scrambles/Motocross arena during the mid 1960s.
I was the odd man out, four wheels were my thing.
Aside from the Velocettes we had an assortment of Tribsa and Rickman machinery cluttering up garage space, soon supplanted by various models from Greeves, D.O.T, Bultaco, Cotton, CZ, Montessa and Yamaha. :lol:
My youngest brother even attempted a (very) brief foray in 'dirt mania', at 'Tracy's Speedway' one Summer, not a rewarding experience at all.
Ed did win an Australian 125 Motocross Championship and numerous other 'A; grade titles, Rob remained in 'B' grade and thus avoided injury.!
They both rode a few tarmac events at Winton, Calder and Sandown, 'just for fun'.
Marriage and kids eventually removed them from competition, probably a good outcome for both, or rather, inevitable.
Today I own several 'Sports Bikes' that I run at the odd Track Day, which my surviving sibling regards as not very bright.
I'm a late bloomer I guess.
:cool:
Love the images.

There are at least 10 acres of good camping land on the property.
Of course it gets a bit chilly with winds straight off the Southern Ocean.
We fall into the region the late great and much missed Barry Sheene quoted one year at the Australian MotoGP.........."Welcome to Philip Island, Gateway to Hypothermia".

Thanks for the warm welcome one and all.
Tako suggested I join up and I'm sure I will learn plenty........I certainly need 'educating'.
Fortunately I live in a great location and taking a camera with me makes my 'compulsory' 10K hikes each day meaningful.

Well, I'm told I should introduce myself so here I am.
A (finally) retired member of the A.D.F and living on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, I dug out my elderly K-5 and have found plenty of interesting areas to brush up on my meager camera skills.
We live on a former farm with access to the National Park on three sides and Bass Strait in the front.
Just the usual 'Scenic Shots' but it shows the type of opportunities literally on my doorstep.
I'm here to learn, be gentle with me! :D
