Aussie Pics
As my commute is fairly boring (I will give you some pics though!), I thought I would snap my drive to Melbourne on the weekend.
I forgot my digi cam, so these were taken with my phone. 150kms of this...  Down the Hume Highway - this is classed as the *mad mile* as there used to be a number of accidents, so they put in a Road House to try and break the monotony ...  New bypass just on the outskirts of Melbourne. The Brown actually has purple neons at nite and looks really groovy...  More pretty stuff....  First glimpse of the Melbourne Skyline  Heading into the city...  Cool Bridge....  Skyline..   My favorite shopping place - DFO (Direct Factory Outlets)..  More features...  Heading into Docklands, which is the yuppie area...  The view from FB's apartment..   Heading home, industrial area...  The features from the other direction..

That's duck_duck, buster, wrong person.
Nice ducks, these are cool. Can you get landscapes too? What's your house/yard look like?

What's with the rows of tall things next to the roads? There are blue ones and red ones and one random-ass yellow one.

Thats contemporary Melbourne decoration and sound proofing CF. The blue poles have perspex in between for sound proofing when it gets built up out there.
The red poles and random yellow thingie were s'posed to distract us from the fact that we are being *tolled* electronically for driving on that road (citylink). They also just installed these permanent speed cameras along 40kms of the highway. They not only detect your speed as you pass them, they collect that data from all the cameras along that stretch of road, then collate it and figure your average speed. If your average works out above the legal speed limit...you get a fine in the mail. |

Where abouts do you live ducksy? I'm guessing somewhere near Geelong?
I love the view of your backyard. Awesome work! Can't wait to see a few more.
