Welcome

Welcome! Glad to have someone who's not here demanding spots.
Mini 10th is awesome fun, and we're lucky to have so many old bunkers still standing, there's a whole heap of old forts around Point Nepean national park that are worth looking at, there's even one on an island - South Channel Fort.

Got any pictures to share?

i will have to have a look. i am into photography. loving some of the pics on flickr.. light painting etc. i couldnt pic the recent bunker as i was already using the phone as a flashlight

will have to check if the camera works with the flashlight on

.. south channel fort looks awesome.. ive done the shipwreak near black rock a few times.. snorkels out. best done in CALM waters with something that floats to hang on to. saw a few sea horses there.

Nice! It's HMAS Cerberus out at Black Rock, there's another one, a paddle steamer near Port Arlington.
Love the shots, is it a mine or a tunnel? Most mines I've been in are so toxic nothing lives in them.

oh your right.. old rail tunnel. The steamer looks good.. will have to have a look sometime

Is the Windows logo intentional?

Harvie Krumpet is awesome.

Man, that landscape shot.
Are these the caves in NSW? Are they open to the public?

Doop71 · 31 Mar 2016, 2:50 am

that bunch was from blue mountains visit. That landscape was my fav lookout there called pulpit rock.. the cave shot was janolan caves i think.. tour guide type deal.. you actually drive through a big cave to get the carpark. and the worm tunnel is a DICEY drive then 20min? walk i think go at own leisure. awesome place up there.

Lol, Windows logo.
