Went for a swim today at one of my favourite creeks
Apologies for the pictures being sideways LOL
Awesome spot...God I love this great country!!

No crocks? Too far inland? Too far South? Too Idyllic?

You missed one - freshwater croc. I'm reasonably comfortable swimming in areas inhabited by freshies, but not areas where salties are known to inhabit. :o

[Log Dog]

Could be the odd freshy in some of the deeper holes
Meh...worries me not!
This place is as good as it looks Bushmiller
Can't tell you where it is though :no:
Local secret this one

The Brisbane river is at the bottom of my street, maybe 500 yards. We used to go swimming there but the $%^& water authority have fenced our side off. You have to cross the weir and climb down the hill on the other side. Very annoying.


Of course it recently came a bit closer to my house for a week or so :D

Some very pretty spots along the banks of the Brisbane River
Aaaah the memories :rolleyes:

Off to another one of my favourite spots in the morning to take my hound for a swim
The local weir
Will post pics of it when I return home
Love the Australian landscape

The fence is to stop the river coming up too high.

Der, don't you know 'nuffin.

Couple more pics
The pooch had a ball
I had to stay on the sideline though and watch
Be back swimming in a month hopefully
The amount of fish in this system is staggering
Some good sized Perch I spotted close to the bank
Maybe 30cm in length...a few a bit bigger
I reckon there would be cherapin in there too

For us poor people who live further south (near Tamworth but in the hills) I don't think swimming would be the activity but we would be close to ice skating.
[That's an exaggeration but it highlights our very diverse beautiful country]

How is your convalescence coming on Chris?

Log Dog, that reminds me of a spot near Mt. Mulligan, west of Cairns. Probably not the same spot, but similar looking country.

Wonderful country out this way with an abundance of wildlife and scenery to blow one's mind.
Hope your memories of the area are fond ones

This little cutie is a regular visitor to my property
Who needs a lawnmower? LOL
Truly blessed to have these critters around

How is your convalescence coming on Chris?Really well thanks Rod
Had half the staples removed today...the rest on Friday
That should speed up recovery even further
Crikey I feel good...had 90% blockage in one artery according to the doctor that I saw a few days ago and 70% in a few others.
I dodged a bullet(s)...I am very lucky!
B.P back to normal and heart rate good.
Extremely grateful to have a second chance at life
Thanks for your concern too mate

Lived there as a kid. Went back a few years ago and lots of memories came back. Sorry I couldn't make the centenary of the mine disaster last year.

The skillset involved in a quadruple bypass is truly amazing
Your life is literally in their hands
Yet they do these proceedures now with consummate ease
May the blood flow freely...I sure feel better
