Insecticide


I'm so glad it is fresh odourless DOOM I didn't like the stale stinky DOOM. Wierd how it's on it's side, but then maybe DOOM is like that.

Meat Dave

A local buther shop, notice the upside down head, he keeps it untill last to prove which animal it is you are buying. The butcher is quite a nice bloke, these are some of my students buying some meat.

South Africa trip

I was invited down to South Africa (Johannesburg) for the anual in country meeting of volunteers, it just happened to be the 60th year of Australian Volunteers celebration, so that was a part of it too.
While in Johannesburg, one sees some interesting things. JB is big, including the metro area has about 6.3 million, so is bigger than Sydney, it is a city of stark contrasts, haves and have nots. Virtualy all of the BMWs and Mercs you see in Oz are made in this city. Nuclear power plants, big freeways, slums and leafy street suburbs with electric fences on virtually every house, I recon you need a couple of those nuclear power plants just to run the electric fences (I'm not joking).
 I hope that tailgate has good latches.

Mandela square in Santon Mall
This one's for Eli, a real Messerschmidt, this one crashed, look at that prop, this was in the war museum, which was the place we had the conference, so we could look around at lunchtime. Quite an amazing place.
This is a 105mm German Howitzer, this thing could shoot more than 10km, so it must have been one heck of a pop when this happened. WW2.
