2006 Nats Torch Relay - TORCH's BIG DAY OUT

[surferboy]

my newest bestest mate Macca just before he went out and scored about 50 goals against the victorians. those footy playing tips I gave him came in really useful.......tying your opponents bootlaces together always works well.

Now lets all sing together........

WE'RE THE BIG BIRDS OF THE BIG GAME

WE ARE THE EAGLES

WE'RE FLYING HIGH

TORCH

[fcfromscratch]

The Big Trip South a couple of weeks ago...photos just come through...


Headed south from Bridgetown where I met up with Daggy (Chris).   Came to this sign, think we know which way to go!?



Yep, think I can see the ocean now...



Came across the Bibbulman Track...a walk trail between Perth and Albany...who'd want to walk when you can drive an FC?



Found Walpole, must've made the right turn....



Valley of the Giants???



Oh......giant trees....sheesh, they grow them big over here!!


Next stop Albany!!

TORCH

Next stop was West Cape Howe, the most southern spot on the WA coast...apparently!





Then Daggy and Carrots took me to Albany where we saw the Harbour...


Then we went to a wind farm......say what!?


LOOK OUT DAGGY...IT'S COMIN AT US!!

WHEW.....that was close....

After that close call with the wind thingy, I was glad to get back to Bridgetown and check things out...


The local Holden Dealer...it's almost like being HOME!


I found a couple of cool cars and their owners in the main street...


They said to me, "We know where there's another one, lets go see it!"


Then we went up to the lookout to see the view from there...

Well, after the trip down south, I caught a lift back to the "big smoke"...

There's this place called King's Park, good views of the City of Perth....


Happy snaps....gotta love 'em...


Here's me comparing my flame to the "Eternal Flame" at the monument....who says size doesn't matter?  Anyway, a reflective moment, if you don't mind.....


There's this other monument on the hill as well, pretty impressive.



Oh, and by the way....here's why I don't like working in the city....those red lights aren't taillights, they're BRAKE LIGHTS...hahaha

Hi Surferboy....just thought I'd drop you a line and say you did a great job with TORCH...good to see he had time to catch up with the best of the west, especially the WCE.http://www.ozgeorge.net/wceindex.html. Turn up your speakers for this one.  

[fcfromscratch]

I went to Jezz's place too and found this cool FC.  327 Chev up front, nice colours...pity it's not my ride to Phillip Island.....oh well!!


...there's another one in the garage too...


I'm feeling exhausted.....is it time to go home yet??



SEE YOU ALL AT PHILLIP ISLAND in just 5 days time...whew, I'd better get moving....!!

Great set of pics, WA.  A bit of imagination mixed with a bit of cheek.
