For over four decades I have been a rail and bus photographer.
However, during this time I have aimed the lens at other subjects, be they different transportation, scenery, buildings and other bollocks.
Given these do not really fit the scope of my other sites, I felt compelled to set up a new site so as to inflict my other photographic garbage upon the world.
While primarily Philippine and Australian content, there will be the occasional forays into Fiji and Hong Kong. Perhaps other locations should the current pandemic ever allow it.
So sit back and enjoy, or hate, even be indifferent. That choice is purely up to you.

A stopover was had at the 'Historical Aircraft Restoration Society' (HARS) in Albion Park to give Virls a chance to get up nice and close with an iconic Boeing 747 Jumbo.

How the blowhole actually does the blowing.

Hardest part of any visit is not only finding it on a good day, but trying to time a selfie with the blowing actually happening.

Virls cast a spell for more rain.
Although I think we had already experienced more than enough.

The well known Cringila Kebab shop has been a part of my life for decades, we used to drive down there from Sydney just to grab one and go all the way back home.
Of course, no Illawarra trip was going to be complete without partaking in their quality product.
Sadly, the owner who I have known for decades recently sold it. So now I need to get to know the new one.
