Aus/NZ pictures thread

    I thought it'd be a good idea to start a photo thread. You can post up photos of you in interesting places in Aus/Nz or just photos of your everday life (your house, garden, doing things around the city etc). It'll give us a chance to share our experiences and show a little of what our lives are like in Aus/NZ. It also might inspire some other boardsies to take the plunge and move over this side of the world.

    Boardsies who have been travelling in Aus/NZ and are back home, feel free to share your pics too!

    The usual photo rules will apply i.e. no posts without a picture or it will be deleted.

    I'll star, here's a (quite unflattering) pic of me out on a wintery walk when I spotted the penguin sign. It was then I knew I really wasn't in Ireland anymore!

    EDIT: I can't for the life of me make it any fecking bigger!

    This is probably my favourite photo that I've taken over here. It's from the Steve Irwin Zoo in Queensland.

    It was great being so close to animals like that and seeing them kick the shit out of each other was an added bonus! :D

    edit:grrr... photobucket isn't actually copying those links when it says 'copied'...

    will i take em all down and do it again later, or just leave them, and amend it later?



    some amazing pics there, some just don't look real at all! fantastic!

    here's a couple of mine.. unfortunately, i have gloves that are a bit falling apart, and the bits that are falling off them, have kinda gotten in the way of otherwise lovely photos. bleh. but anyway, here's mine...

    went adventuring to an empty fort, on ripapa island with the mate i go rockclimbign with and his ex. you can reach the island at low tide over a few rocks. mate knew it was gonna be a lil 'stormy' that day, and mentioned it in passing... he neglected to mention the few inches of snow we were about to endure... though i have now seen 4 inches of snow on the beach! over the sand! which, to me, was just incredible! here's some pics of that day.

    People, there's a no posting without pics rule. I'm not going to delete any of the posts yet as this thread is new but please be aware in future that in order to comment you must post a pic of your own.

    I'll be deleting any posts without pics from now on in. This is to avoid clutter in the thread and also to avoid any unecessary comments on people's lovinlgy take photos. By all means comment - but add your own photos too.

    Crumble Froo - I know you're special and can't get photobucket to work and they're should be pics there!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    whatdya mean tehre should be pics there?! they showed up, just teh same ones kept showing up cos i forgot to specifically rightclick and copy them! and it's not just my cache or whatever, cos windsock saw and recognised them!

    I was at work so presumably photobucket is not allowed. I can see them now but couldn't earlier on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    the clicky thing that should just copy the link wasnt working and i kept forgetting to do it the full way. anyway, here's a picture to go with this post, ebfore i go and fix it all up.

    dont see crap like this in ireland every day! as a former addict, i was drooling :D
