PSA – Pleasant Sunday Afternoon

It’s hard to see this bill board from 1915 being used today. Where’s the pictures, the slogan…..

It was a sunny day about 40C. A lovely drive for work to a neighbouring community.

But then I had a feeling it might all change soon. And it did.

In my travels through rural and remote Australia I see quite a few big trucks. A scan of my photos shows I take few pictures of them. Welcome to the start of an occasional series.

These ore dump trucks were being transported westward on the Kalgoorlie Laverton Road. First comes the transport escort with a big sign and amber flashing lights. With the trucks still out of sight you call on the UHF radio and ask the size.

SEVEN metres wide.

You start slowing down and the next escort vehicle is the police escort four wheel drive. Despite them hearing your conversation on the radio and you slowing down and slowly moving off the road they drive directly at you headlights and red and blues flashing.

And then the trucks arrive. (click on the images for a much larger view)

In remote Australia in our clear, clear skies you can see for miles. As can our birds of prey. Bob Gosford has a terrific post “All six Australian Falcons in one day” in finding them all round Alice Springs in a single day (He also has plenty of other birding posts).

Living out bush as I do we see them every day. But nothing can match the following video that I first saw on Media Cafe.

Cameras mounted on the back of a goshawk in the forest and a Peregrine Falcon in full flight. Enjoy the ride.
