Blog Update - Cairns Holiday Last year and my latest interest

    Hi all, so Last year we went on a holiday to Cairns to see my other 2 children we had a great trip and I plan to share some of that trip on here, which I didnt' think to do at the time while eveything was fresh in my mind I will do my best to cover what I remember, I have a lot of photos from that trip so each post will be one day at a time, I will get these posts up when I have caught up on all my recent trips I have done a few recently.

      I have taken an interest in Rock Hounding, geology and the formation of our country so my next few posts will be from trips out in the bush while I have been looking for Rocky outcrops to photograph mainly Granite but some of the formations are not bad some not so great , I still have many trips planned to explore the bush a little more, Geology is a real interesting subject, I am really new at it and are still trying to learn what it is all about. 

    Unfortunately there is not many areas you can Fossick for rocks in Western Australia, but I do have Miners rights, and can Fossick on Crown Land, but hoping I will have many Photo opportunties while out amd about.

I have just been looking through my Photos and it seems I still have a long way to go to catch up on everything been out more than I thought keep and eye out for updates,

I have been going back in time, with my photos and starting my Posts from about 2011, I have been doing trips since about 2004 but images that i have taken are not the best of quality so i have skipped the first few years, so some posts may not exist as of yet but I am working on it and they will be added in the future with published dates back to when they were originally done, I have noticed as I have been going through my photos a lot of the places I have been either no longer exist or have been destroyed or left to rot so to speak. Some places still exist but have been closed to the public for some time, I will keep checking on a regular basis to see it they have been either re-opened or repaired.

You will see regular updates on older trips as I publish them, the problem I have to write them as if they still exist well they did back then, its hard cause I know a few of them no longer exist, but trying to write about them as if they are still here.

Please take care when visiting some of the places that still exist to ensure that generations to come can enjoy them as well, a lot of places closed due to fire or vandalism or just people breaking the law, and lack of maintenence. Take care of our National Parks which are slowly being destroyed by off road vehicles doing the wrong thing or motorbikes tearing up the trails I enjoy off roading myself but I stick to the main tracks, i have visited Boulder rock and seen 4WD's climbing it, a recent trip there shows tracks where the roack has been chipped or scratched and tyre marks up it.
